Save to Favorites

Looking for volunteers to sit on a committee that will be planning our 2025 Walk to Defeat ALS Seattle on 10.11.25. This annual walk helps to raise much needed funds for our local community who is living with ALS. It helps provide much needed loan equipment, care service providers, support groups, funds ALS Clinics and more.

This committee has various roles and can be 3-4 people in each role and we will begin in January 2025. The committees will meet once a month in the beginning and then can divide to sub groups to work on items. All members will be supported by the Development Manager (Viktoria Meyer) and will work closely with her. You can customize your committee role to anything you would like regarding how much time you want to put in to it.. It can be one hour a month to full time if desired. Grab your friends and have them work with you and create long lasting memorible experiences while helping an amazing cause. This is also a great way to meet new friends. The roles I have listed below are not all of the roles, but are a great sampling of them.
