We've Gone Mobile!

T-Shirts

Participants who raise $90 will receive a Walk to Defeat ALS T-Shirt. This benefit is awarded to individuals, not teams or donors, so make sure the donations to your personal fundraising record add up! Shirts will be mailed to the Team Captain's home after Walk Day to distribute to team members who earned a shirt.

In addition to working toward one for yourself, spread the word to encourage your friends, family, and coworkers to earn their very own shirt.
