ALS NB Events

Events in New Brunswick

Most people living with ALS lose some or complete use of their hands and legs within the first two years of their diagnosis. There are many activities they would like to do while they still could; and activities that friends and family may want to do on their behalf.

The ALS Society of New Brunswick encourages you to participate in one or all the events that are held each year. These events raise awareness as well as important funds for research and client support services.

WALK FOR ALS - JUNE 2010

JUNE 6, 2010:

Bathurst @ The Bridges
Fredericton @ Officer's Square

June 12, 2010:

Miramichi @ French Fort Cove

Moncton @ Bore Park
Saint John @ Market Square

The WALK for ALS is our biggest fundraiser of the year. As of the time I am writing this, we have completed our 2010 Walks, and they were an amazing success, raising nearly $80,000 (nearly 15% more than last year's walks). Our clients are an amazing group of individuals and families whose SPIRITS are indomitable, and your support of them is greatly appreciated.

The Walk for ALS is one way friends, the community and even local businesses show their support. The money raised from the five Walks for ALS in New Brunswick help ensure we continue to be able to provide HOPE to our clients. Each person who joined us at the Walk demonstrates their support for those living with this devastating disease.

Our Walks are held each year in June, over the first two weekends, so I encourage you to mark those weekends on your calendar now, and prepare to join us in 2011!

THIRD PARTY EVENTS

You can provide support to people living with ALS through a fundraising event supporting the ALS Society of New Brunswick. Golf tournaments, garage sales, family or company celebrations are just a few ideas for holding a fundraising event.

The ALS Society of New Brunswick may be able to provide your event with the following:

A representative of the ALS Society of New Brunswick to attend (participate or speak) at your event.
As appropriate, a representative of the ALS Society of New Brunswick to participate in a cheque presentation at your event.
ALS brochures and fact sheets
A letter in support of the event (if required).
Event advertised in on www.alsnb.ca
Other materials such as balloons, magnets, lapel flowers etc, if available

If you are interested in holding a third party event, please take a few moments to review our guide sheets, including 'Before You Begin' and 'Top Ten Tips', before downloading the Third Party Event Application Form. Should you have any questions as you fill out the Application Form, please email carol@alsnb.ca.
