Les Turner ALS Foundation Tag Day Drives

In

support of National ALS Awareness Month, during May hundreds of volunteers with

the Les Turner ALS Foundation will participate in Tag Days drives. These

fundraising drives will be held throughout the month in nearly 30 communities

across the Chicagoland area. Volunteers will be stationed at intersections, shopping

areas, train stations, and other places throughout communities collecting

donations to help fight ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. A true grassroots campaign, Tag Days involves dedicated volunteers to increase

awareness of ALS and raise funds for research, patient services and educational

programs.  Since its inception in 1994,

the Les Turner Foundation’s Tag Days campaign has raised $1.5 million.
