Each year, The ALS Association Michigan Chapter holds several fundraising events to raise awareness and funds that help provide invaluable services to people living in Michigan with ALS. From our signature event's The Walk to Defeat ALS® and Team Challenge ALS to golf tournaments, galas, and auctions; each event raises funds and increases awareness to help The ALS Association Michigan Chapter fund local care services and vital cutting-edge research. Come join the fun and help make a difference!
In 2017 we are hosting 3 Walk to Defeat ALS events in Grand Rapids, Detroit and Portage Michigan. These events are more than just a few-mile trek, the Walk to Defeat ALS is an opportunity to bring hope to people living with ALS, to raise money for a cure, and to come together for something you care about.
