Way’s to STOP ALS in its Tracks
Our Chapter is dedicated to the people living with ALS and their families in our
area. We know you are too. Although there are many ways to support the work
we do, there is an incredibly quick and easy way to fight ALS every payday.
By giving through payroll deductions, you are taking your partnership with us
to the next level. You can contribute to The ALS Association through Community
Health Charities (CHC), a federation of premier health organizations that have joined together to raise
charitable contributions in the workplace. Your gift will not only fund our Chapter's care services programs,
but also The Association's global ALS research endeavors and public policy efforts.
To find out how you can participate in the CHC workplace giving program, please visit our website. Your
gift, no matter how large or small, will have a profound impact on people living with this disease.
Flexible Giving - Making Your Mark with a Bequest—Including The ALS Association
in your will or living trust is one of the simplest ways to leave a
lasting legacy. With a bequest, you continue to enjoy the use of your assets
during your lifetime - there is no immediate cost to you.
Charitable bequests are flexible: you can designate a certain dollar amount
or a certain percentage of your estate; or even specify that anything left
after your loved ones are provided for will go to help fight ALS. Whichever
type of bequest you choose, your gift will be put to use helping to eradicate
this devastating disease.
An important point to remember about charitable bequests is that you remain
in control of your assets throughout your lifetime. Circumstances can
change and one of the reasons bequests are so popular is that you can modify your beneficiaries at any
time.
Stopping ALS in its tracks is a group effort.
Only through the help of dedicated individuals
and volunteers will ALS be eradicated from our
planet. Please consider becoming part of our
team and:

Host a third party event to raise
awareness and funds.

already planned.

your effort to end ALS.
