<![endif]--> It’s a new year and with that comes renewed hope for those living with ALS. Now is a great opportunity to support The ALS Association Jim “Catfish” Hunter Chapter and fight against Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Listed below are a few suggestions that I believe will help strengthen our partnership together and maintain our progress in 2010.

Attend one of our Chapter events or participate in a Walk to Defeat ALS near you.
Share your story with everyone you know and invite them to sign-up for ALS Association news and updates.
Take the fight to Capitol Hill and become an ALS Advocate.
Include us in your will, estate plan or make a simple donation.
Become a Chapter volunteer.
Find out if your company has a matching gift program.

I know that you are doing everything you can to help create a world without ALS. I hope these suggestions open new doors of possibilities for you. We all share the common goal of a cure for Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and there are many paths to making that goal a reality. Thank you for your unwavering dedication.

Together for a treatment, cure and improved care,

Jerry Dawson
President and CEO

New Opportunity to Make Great Progress

Thu, 10/29/2009 - 11:28am — catfishadministr8r

We are nearing the end of what has been a difficult year for our Chapter. The economy has taken its toll and we are doing all we can to keep our programs and services intact. So far we have been able to honor every completed grant request this year. We hope our future fundraising events and efforts are successful so that we will never be in the position of making difficult choices.

We have a new Retail Pin-up Sales program that has enormous potential to raise funds for research and services. We are actively searching for restaurant chains, grocery stores, pharmacies and convenience stores to partner with us by running the campaign for one month. If you or someone you know might be able to help us set up a meeting with a potential partner please contact us through this page on our website or call toll free 1-877-568-4347.

Thank you for your support of our efforts to eradicate ALS and provide for those struggling with the disease.

Together for a treatment, cure and improved care,

JERRY DAWSON
President/CEO
