What’s Happening?
A significant portion of the funds raised for the ALS Society of Alberta are the result of the collective effort of hundreds of volunteers in Alberta. Without these volunteers, the Society’s operating costs would be much higher and its operating budget would be much, much smaller.
The ALS Society of Alberta also supports several fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Keep checking in to see what’s happening!
Registration Opens Soon
Side By Side for ALS
Formerly known as Betty’s Run for ALS (Calgary) and Walk Together for ALS (across nine Alberta communities), Side by Side for ALS unites Albertans province wide to walk, run and gather for ALS.
