Distinguished Events
Golf, Galas, and the CEO Soak

The ALS Association’s Distinguished Event platform is comprised of targeted ticketed and corporate engagement opportunities that provide unique experiences, community networking, and unforgettable stories. Supporting a Distinguished Event gets us one step closer in doing whatever it takes to make ALS a livable disease and ultimately find a cure. Join us with your friends, colleagues, and other businesses in your community in sponsoring, buying a ticket, or joining a volunteer committee today.

Whether you want to play in a sporting event such as a clay shoot or golf tournament, enjoy a culinary experience at one of our galas, or get soaked once again for ALS in your business attire at a CEO Soak, we have an event for you. Find an event near you or contact your local office today!
