Create Your Own
Create Your Own Initiative to raise funds for ALS Research and to raise awareness about the disease! Over 100 individuals, groups, organizations, and businesses have planned initiatives to participate in the fight against ALS. Swimmers, runners, bikers, dancers, weight lifters, bakers, artists, musicians of all ages have had extraordinary ideas for being active while raising funds and awareness. One eleven-year old boy sold slippers made of duct tape to his classmates!
Contact info@a2a3.org and we will help you fulfill your vision. In addition to enthusiastic support, we can create a fundraising page for you right here at our website.
