Your donations help save the lives of dogs, cats and other animals in need!
Friday, October 11 from 4:30pm to 7:00pm the American Legion Riders Post 259 and the Red Knights Chapter 44 will be hosting a by-donation spaghetti dinner to benefit Super Heros in Ripped Jeans. Late in August, the Super Heros in Ripped Jeans Thrift Shop (located at 4 South Main Street) was vandalized putting a crimp in their fundraising. Our two organizations want to help the organization and the animals that ultimately were impacted.
Spaghetti By Donation Dinner
Date: Friday, October 11
Time: 4:30pm to 7pm
Where: American Legion, 279 Chestnut Street Oneonta
We'd love your support!
Stop by the American Legion at 279 Main Street and enjoy a great dinner hosted by our volunteers. Feel free to bring items the animals need or swing by their Amazon wish list and show your support!

Help Us, Help Out
To support the American Legion Riders (Post 259) is to support the community.
Why do we ride? Well, besides our love of the open road and the freedom that riding brings, it allows us to contribute to a wide variety of charitable causes around our area.
While many of our events are held in support of our veterans and service members, we’ve also supported children’s hospitals, humane societies, and schools with the proceeds we raise. Furthermore, we help to draw attention to these needs by presenting a united front as we cruise down the road, applying our passion for riding to contribute to something even greater.
Will you help us serve our veterans and the people whom they have protected?
Anything you can give is more than appreciated. Thank you so much for your support.
