Ice Bucket Challenge Progress
The 2018 Walk to Defeat ALS season is over, but we are still accepting donations through December 31st. Together our three Walks raised an impressive $253,735, 70% to our goal of $360,000. Will you help us reach our goal before our December deadline? Any amount will help support our ALS families - $10 supplies a gait belt to help caregivers lift their loved one, $50 sends the child of a person with ALS to summer camp, $200 provides a person with ALS medical transportation to clinic and $500 will fund a Care Grant to one of our ALS families. Only with your help will we UNLOCK ALS and create a world without this terrible disease!
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!
