Les Turner ALS Foundation Tag Days

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.
