Fundraising Efforts

The mission of the ALS Society of Canada is to fund ALS research for a cure, support provincial ALS societies in their provision of quality care for persons living with ALS and 
build public awareness of ALS and its impact.   To accomplish this we raise funds from the public through direct-mail and on-line donations and through events such as the WALK for ALS. 

Stories about our successes are found below.

The donor area offers information about these and other ways you can support the work of the ALS Society.   Our development department staff are always interested in assisting you to find the right opportunity for you to join us in our mission to find a cure for ALS.
