FUNDRAISE YOUR WAY
ALS United Greater New York provides the simple tools you need to help you plan, promote, and manage your activity. Start with an idea (a hike, garage sale, poker tournament, golf outing, comedy night, anniversary party, or basketball game, for example), and create and customize your page where you can share your story, photos, event information, and then recruit others to join you or donate in support of your efforts.
Here are some ideas for the types of fundraisers you might create:
- CELEBRATE
Dedicate a special day or milestone to bringing help and hope to the ALS community. - GET ACTIVE
Golf, swim, hike, cycle, paddle, and more! Go the distance to defeat ALS! - GET CREATIVE
Turn passion into progress with an activity such as an art sale, chili cook-off, car show, or whatever you can dream up!
Our staff can help you get started right now! We are here for you and eager to provide guidance, ideas, expertise, and resources before your event.

Create a Facebook Fundraiser
Create A New "Facebook Fundraiser" Today! You and your social media network will help improve the quality of life and hopefully extend the lifespans of those with ALS. Celebrate a holiday season, your birthday, or an anniversary by creating a Facebook Fundraiser to support ALS United Greater New York. Together, we can ensure that no one living with ALS must face this disease alone.
Facebook makes it really easy to establish a dedicated page to share your story, honor a loved one, tell others about our unique mission, and rally around a fundraising goal.
