American Legion Family USA 250 Challenge
Celebrate the nation’s semiquincentennial by taking part in The American Legion’s USA 250 Challenge. Your participation, whether as an individual or part of a team, helps honor our veterans and uplift communities nationwide while promoting physical fitness, mental wellness, and community service.
About the Challenge
The American Legion Family is honoring the nation’s 250th birthday with a commitment to embracing physical activity, supporting mental health and serving its communities. The USA 250 Challenge encourages American Legion Family members, other veterans and all Americans to participate, and even raise additional money to support our disabled veterans and families in need through The American Legion Veterans & Children Foundation.
American Legion National Commander Dan Wiley encourages everyone to join the challenge, which was launched by Past National Commander James LaCoursiere on July 3, 2025. The year-long initiative offers three categories — fitness, mental wellness and community service — in order to engage more American Legion Family members and others to participate.
Participants may engage in one, two or all three activities as an individual or as part of a team like an American Legion post, American Legion Auxiliary unit, Sons of The American Legion squadron and/or an American Legion Riders chapter.
For a $30 registration fee, participants will receive their choice of a USA 250 Challenge tech shirt. Donations will go to the Veterans and Children Foundation (VCF).

The American Legion is an organization that has been promoting four main pillars of service and advocacy—Americanism, Children and Youth, National Security, and Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation—since World War I.
The American Legion Family includes The American Legion Auxiliary, The Sons of The American Legion, and The American Legion Riders, all of whom work together to fulfill these pillars.
The organization aims to develop and mentor new members to ensure the future success of the organization. If you are a veteran, you can join The American Legion to support the military, veterans, their families, and the nation.
Join today and how your efforts can contribute to keeping The American Legion strong.
