Whatever your interests, the Les Turner ALS Foundation can help you put your time and talents to work in a worthwhile setting that will benefit the ALS community.

Tag Days Captain
The Foundation relies upon dedicated volunteer captains to coordinate Tag Days drives in their home or work communities. Captains are responsible for selecting a May weekend for the drive, securing locations for volunteer placement, recruiting and scheduling volunteers and collecting and counting the money. The Foundation staff provides training, guidance, support and all the necessary supplies for the drive.

Tag Days Volunteer
Tag Days volunteers are assigned a 2-3 hour shift collecting donations at local stores, banks and street corners in their community. Tag Days are held on weekends in May in conjunction with National ALS Awareness Month.

Special Events Volunteer
Volunteers at our events help register participants, staff auction tables, sell raffle tickets, supervise refreshment tables and other assignments as needed. Special events include:

• Lou Gehrig Day at Wrigley Field - Sunday, July 26, 2009
• ALS Walk4Life - Saturday, September 12, 2009

Organize a Fundraising Event
Create and run a fundraising event to benefit the Les Turner ALS Foundation. Special events are a great way to honor or remember a person with ALS. Golf tournaments, marathon participation, casual days and private parties are just a few of the ways individuals and organizations have raised funds for the Foundation in recent years.
