BUTLER TWP - The Butler County American Legion Riders braved the rain Saturday and rode for a cause.

The Riders, a group of veterans who enjoy motorcycles and aid other veterans, held their annual fundraiser Saturday.

Legion members and others taking the ride from VA Butler Healthcare to VFWs in Saxonburg, Ford City and Parker, and then to Post 243 in West Sunbury before heading to Post 778 in Lyndora.

A portion of the proceeds went toward a $12,500 endowment to Butler County Community College for an annual $500 scholarship for the college’s veterans.

“It’s the community’s college, so obviously we have a significant portion of student veterans on campus, and it’s just a natural that as a community college we’d want to work with (them),” said Bill Foley, interim coordinator of communications at BC3.
