Chapter Highlights

2021 Georgia Walk to Defeat ALS - Saturday, September 25, 2021

2020 was a year we will never forget. While navigating through unforeseen challenges and much change, ALS did not stop & neither did we. Thank you to everyone who participated last year & helped us raise $425,000 for our families battling ALS.

2021 is a new year and we are so excited to officially invite you to join us on Saturday, September 25th as we Knock It Out of The Park and celebrate 20 years of The Walk to Defeat ALS here in Georgia!

As our team has been closely monitoring local and state guidelines, we have decided to move forward with plans to host this year's Walk in person!

We will STILL continue to offer virtual participation options and support mini-walks in your neighborhood if you or your team is not comfortable gathering in person this fall. The health & safety of our participants, families, volunteers & supporters will ALWAYS be our top priority as we finalize Walk Day details.

Don’t Wait! Click HERE to Register!

Whether you join us in person, or online, we never walk alone and together we are making a difference in the fight against ALS! If you have any questions, please reach out to Brittany Brown at brittany@alsaga.org
