Join the Riders
There's Room in the Pack for You
If you're an eligible member of the American Legion Family — or you're not sure yet — get in touch with Chapter #443. We'll confirm eligibility and current requirements with you and make sure you know what to expect.
Why Ride With Us?
Five Good Reasons
Different members join for different reasons. Most stay for all five.
Service
Put your time and your miles behind veterans, families, and youth in our own community.
Camaraderie
Ride with people who understand service — veterans, spouses, and family members who look out for each other.
Charity
Teddy Bear Run, Toyz For Kidz, veteran assistance, and fundraisers where the results stay local.
Community
Parades, ceremonies, Post projects, and neighbors who need a hand — Sanford is home.
Motorcycling
Group rides through Mid-Michigan with riders who value safety, respect, and good company.
What to Expect
Your First Meeting
No pressure, no obligation, no test to pass. Come see what the chapter is about.
- Arrive a few minutes before 7:00 PM and introduce yourself — someone will make sure you're not standing alone.
- Meetings run about an hour: ride planning, charity coordination, Post and Legion Family updates.
- You'll hear what's coming up and where help is needed. Volunteer for what fits your schedule.
- Bring your questions about eligibility, dues, ride expectations, and gear — we'd rather answer them in person.
- You do not need a motorcycle to attend, help, or ride along as a passenger.
Membership in the American Legion Riders is tied to membership in the American Legion Family. Please contact Chapter #443 to confirm eligibility and current requirements — we don't want anyone guessing.
