Hello All,
We’d like to share some important information about our new Cheers to the Season Gala. It will be a virtual experience this year, however, we feel it will deliver a new and exciting platform and opportunity for the Rocky Mountain Chapter and the ALS community.
COVID-19 has directly impacted the entire ALS community and has presented new challenges for our families, and caregivers affected by ALS. It has also affected the ways in which we gather to raise the critically needed funds to support our mission. As a result of this world-wide pandemic, and in accordance with the CDC and local government COVID-19 guidelines for large-scale events, the Cheers to the Season Gala will be hosted virtually this year.
Because ALS doesn’t stop during circumstances like these, our support for those affected by ALS cannot stop. Our annual gala typically attracts over 250 people and raises more than $100,000 annually, but cannot be held in-person this year. A virtual event will allow the celebration to continue while allowing more people to be involved in the event than ever before. If you are able, we would love your support in raising the funds needed to continue providing critical services for our families and caregivers affected by ALS.
Participating in the Cheers to the Season Gala Cheers is virtually open and complimentary to all! Pre-registration is encouraged to receive access to the presentation and auction.
