Riding Together for Veterans and Community
Join the American Legion Riders of Post 4 in Billings, Montana for charity events and veteran support rides.
When you ride with the American Legion Riders of Post 4 in Billings, you join a group of motorcyclists who raise funds and awareness for veterans through organized rides and community events. Whether you ride regularly or attend as a supporter, you become part of a network that puts service and giving back at the center of every event held across Billings and surrounding Montana communities.
The Riders organize charity runs, memorial rides, and fundraising events that support veteran programs and local causes. Each ride is planned with safety as a priority, and the camaraderie you find on the road carries over into the post and into the broader veteran community. You do not need to be a veteran to participate, but you do need to share a commitment to honoring those who served.
If you want to ride with us or support an upcoming event in Billings, reach out to American Legion Post #4 to learn about our schedule and membership.
What Happens on a Ride and Who Can Join
When you participate in a Riders event in Billings, you meet at the post or a designated staging area, receive a route briefing, and ride as a group with road captains leading and sweeping. Rides vary in length and purpose, from short memorial loops to day-long charity runs that end with food, raffles, or auctions that raise money for veteran services and local families in need.
After a ride, you will see funds directed to programs that help veterans with medical bills, housing support, or emergency assistance. You will also notice stronger connections among riders and between the post and the Billings community, built through shared commitment rather than casual participation.
Membership in the Riders requires affiliation with the American Legion family, which includes Legionnaires, Auxiliary members, and Sons of the American Legion. If you are not yet affiliated but want to ride, you can inquire about eligibility or participate in open community rides that welcome all supporters. The group meets regularly to plan events, review safety protocols, and coordinate with other veteran organizations throughout Montana.
