RALPH RUSSO:
On Monday, August 16, 2010, the 4th Annual ROAR Ralph Russo
ALS Charity Golf Classic will be held in honor of Ralph, who was diagnosed
with ALS in January 2006. Prior to the onset of ALS, Ralph was
President and CEO of Sara Lee Coffee & Tea (formerly Superior Coffee).
Although ALS has progressively diminished Ralph’s physical abilities, it
has not altered his spirit or his determination to live each day to the fullest.
Ralph is now officially retired. He enjoys visits from his friends, watching
movies and playing an occasional game of poker. Also enjoying his family,
marveling at how well they are developing. He stays active with the
Les Turner ALS Foundation through this golf outing.

THE RALPH RUSSO
PATIENT AND FAMILY SERVICES GRANT PROGRAM:
The proceeds from the Annual ROAR golf outing support The Ralph Russo
Patient and Family Services Grant Program. Through this program, patients
may apply for grants - based on need - for the purchase or rental of
necessary equipment and life needs, such as wheelchairs, ramps and bathroom adaptations. This program allows more ALS patients to be better served. To date, more than $50,000 has gone directly to help patients.

For more information on ROAR, or any Foundation event, please email events@lesturnerals.org or call 847.679.3311.

* all proceeds benefit the Foundation.
