National and State Advocacy Initiatives
ALS advocates use their voices and experience to inform legislators about the critical needs of people living with ALS, their families and caregivers. As an ALS advocate, you can build relationships with your lawmakers that can help advance legislation, create and improve policies, and change laws to help the thousands of people living with ALS.
When we join together as ALS advocates, we can make real change happen.
Ring of Honor Golf Classic
The Ring of Honor Golf Classic was established to remember those who we have lost to ALS and to honor those who, along with their families, are still fighting this terrible disease. The tournament will bring together community and business leaders from Northeast Florida in an effort to support the ALS Association.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this impactful event on May 5th.
