Every year we recognize an individual or organization who has been a champion for people living with ALS at our formal gala. Not only do we want to celebrate their work, we also want every guest to have a great time, to buy items from the silent and live auctions, and to donate to ALS research.
We are looking for people with fundraising, event planning, or marketing experience who would like to help our development team plan, promote, and execute the gala. Committee members typically spend five hours a month volunteering from April through November. By joining the committee, not only will you receive a complimentary ticket to the gala on Saturday, October 28, you will also be an integral part of an event that supports ALS research and helps fund the equipment and services we offer free of charge to people living with ALS and their families.
