Earn More Exciting Fundraising Prizes!

Pick up your prizes at the ALS Walk for Life on September 14th, 2024.

Prizes are cumulative. Those who raise $1,000 and over will receive all four prizes.

Prize eligibility is determined by personal fundraising amounts. Team fundraising amounts will not be eligible for these prizes.

 

 

 

Double Your Impact in August!

From 8/07/24 – 8/31/24 (or until the funds run out), the Haarlow Family Charitable Foundation will generously match all team fundraising $1 for $1 up to a maximum of $2,000 per team*. This terrific challenge will double the impact of every dollar you raise – on research, care, and support for people living with ALS.

*This challenge applies only to money raised during the time frame, not money already raised*

Our thanks and appreciation to the Haarlow Family Charitable Foundation

 

Employee Matching

Many employers will match a portion of the money their employees raise for charity.
Check our website to see if your workplace participates.

Volunteers Needed!

We need your help distributing flyers for the ALS Walk for Life!

We will mail you the flyers, and you can put them up in your community wherever there is a public bulletin, like your favorite coffee shop, library, or gym.

Email us for flyers
