Each May, the Les Turner ALS Foundation honors ALS Awareness Month with a series of Tag Day drives. These locally organized fundraising drives can be found at intersections, shopping malls, train stations and other places around the community. This grassroots event is an example of how dedication, ingenuity and volunteer manpower can have an impact many times beyond the original investment. The genius of Tag Days is that it requires little more than a yellow vest, a can for donations, and two hours or more from a willing volunteer. It may not seem like much, but it adds up.
Our 2012 Tag Days drives have begun, and there is still time to volunteer for a drive near you!
We have Tag Days drives set in the following communities. If your community is on this list, consider volunteering for one or more shifts. Please contact Liz at lmelvin@lesturnerals.org or (847) 679-3311 for more information on volunteering.
