Rhino's Run Pig Roast

Description

The American Legion will be hosting a statewide motorcycle trek with a pig roast on July 15^th, 2014 starting at 9:30am. The event is at 1116 Angelo road and will include smoked pork and sides for only $10.00. All proceeds raised from the pig roast will be going directly to this national fundraiser program known as “The American Legion’s Legacy Scholarship Fund”. The goal of the Wisconsin American Legion is to raise $50,000 for this program.
The riders will travel for three days and 900 miles, to meet and exceed that goal.  Governor Scott Walker is in full support of this effort and has proclaimed July 14^TH-16^TH as “Gold Star Kids Days” in the state of Wisconsin. 
“Since September 2001, some 11,000 children have lost a parent in service to our country. These children are the innocent casualties of war”, said Commander Ken Rynes of American Legion Post No. 13 in Richland Center. “The American Legion's Legacy Scholarship Fund was created to ease their burden and we’ve established a goal of raising $50,000 to do our part.”, he continued.
Individuals interested in supporting with their tax-deductible donations can register for “Rhino’s Run” on-line at www.wilegion.org.  All registered will receive a patch, pin and commemorative booklet while supplies last. Concerned citizens and members of the American Legion Family are also encouraged to participate by raising funds locally and meeting Commander Rynes and the Legion Riders when they arrive at stops in your area and presenting the proceeds.
“Rhino’s Run” will begin Monday, July 14^th at American Legion State Headquarters in Portage and will culminate on Wednesday, July 16^th in Appleton.
