Residents lined Oregon Street in Hiawatha Friday morning to show their support for the American Legion Riders 4th Annual Legacy Run which passed through the community

(KNZA )--The roar of motorcycles filled the air Friday as the American Legion Riders’ 4th Annual Kansas Legacy Run made stops in Holton, Hiawatha and Atchison.

During the stops, wreath laying ceremonies were held at veterans memorials.

In Hiawatha, residents showed their support for the Run by waving flags, saluting and applauding as the Riders passed through the community.

The purpose of the Run is to raise awareness and support for the American Legion Legacy Scholarship Fund. The Fund supports children whose parents lost their lives or became 50 percent disabiled while on military duty since the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

The goal is to raise $20 million, with over $7 million raised to date toward the goal.

More than 50 riders departed on the about 800-mile run Thursday from Hutchinson and will finish Sunday in Derby.
