Fundraising and Awareness

Each year, The ALS Association Massachusetts Chapter holds several fundraising events to raise awareness and funds that help provide invaluable services to people living with ALS.  Participation in these events by people like you helps raise critical funds for our mission.

Walk to Defeat ALS

The Walk to Defeat ALS is an annual event held in communities across Massachusetts and throughout the country. Each local walk is between one and three miles in length and is a positive and uplifting day with food, games and activities for the whole family. It is our way of raising awareness of ALS and critical funds for those affected by ALS. Participants raise money through donations from friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors. You can join as an individual or a team, most people create teams to honor or show support of their loved ones with ALS.

Ride to Defeat ALS

Cyclists can choose to participate in the 10, 25, 50, or 70 mile course, and motorcyclists can participate in a 25 mile course. Ride is our way of raising awareness of ALS and funds for those affected by ALS. Ride day concludes with a complimentary lunch, a beer garden for those 21+, live music, and awards. You can join as an individual or a team, most people create teams to honor or show support of their loved ones with ALS.
