Walk to Defeat ALS Team Month Sneak Peek 2024

The Walk to Defeat ALS® Team Month is here! Your mission this week is to create a Facebook Fundraiser through your participant center (following the directions in this video) and raise $50 in donations by August 31st. Those who complete the mission will be entered to win a great prize!

Did you know that social media is the #1 way to fundraise? Facebook Fundraiser users raise 5X more on average. That’s 5 times the critical funds needed to support those living with ALS right here in Michigan.

Already created a Facebook Fundraiser? Then you're one step ahead of the game! Secure an additional $50 in donations by the deadline to be entered to win!

Be sure to join the discussion and RSVP GOING on our Facebook event page HERE for Team Month reminders and updates.

If you haven't registered for the Walk yet, it's the perfect time to get started. Click the REGISTER button on the top of this page to sign-up today!

Message from your Coordinator

Hello everyone! My name is Jena McEwen and I'm the Director of Development for The ALS Association Michigan. In 2017, I lost my Dad to ALS and like so many of you, every year I walk in his memory and continue our fight for an ALS cure. I am so thrilled you are joining us for the 2024 Walk to Defeat ALS Grand Rapids at our new location! I can't wait to see you all at the beautiful Grant Pavilion in Millenium Park, as we raise vital funds and awareness for our ALS community. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have ANY questions or just want to chat!

This year, we will gather and walk at Grant Pavilion at Millennium Park on Saturday, September 14, 2024!

Below are some helpful links and tips to get you started. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have ANY questions or need help getting started.

2023 Walk to Defeat ALS T-Shirt

T-Shirts

Only participants who've raised $100 will get a t-shirt. This benefit is awarded to individuals, not teams or donors, so make sure the donations to your personal fundraising record add up!

In addition to working toward one for yourself, you should spread the word to encourage your friends, family, and coworkers to earn their very own shirt.
