Remember, Honor, and Celebrate your loved ones by sharing a photo and message post in our slideshow presentation throughout the morning. You don’t have to attend the Walk to recognize that special someone.
Thank you to everyone who came out to Greenfield Park for our 2022 Walk to Defeat ALS. It was a wonderful a day in the park together in spite of the Packers.
We're almost at our fundraising goal! Team + Donation Pages are open through December 31st. We continue to serve more than 600 families in Wisconsin living with ALS and your efforts fully support this mission.
ALS is a horrific and always-fatal disease impacting patients and patient families throughout Wisconsin. It has no known cause. No known cure. And no effective treatment. Which is why it’s going to take all of us to take down ALS.
Join us in Hayward, WI, on Saturday, August 27th for a day of fun and frolic in honor of two of Hayward's greats - John Jaeckel and Don Sheehan.
There is an online auction accompanying the festivities this year, and the items to be won are nothing short of stupendous! Scroll to the button at the bottom of this page and get registered to bid! Auctions open at 11AM on Saturday, August 20th, and close promptly at 11AM on Saturday, August 27th.
