Announcing The 2021 Legacy Campaign: Changing the Future of ALS

The Greater San Diego Chapter has embarked on a bold new fundraising campaign this year to recruit Legacy Society members. The Legacy Society recognizes a special group of supporters who have included the Chapter in their will, trust, or other gift plan.

We know it will take time and significant resources to meet our goals, and your support today combined with a future legacy gift is critical for helping us get there. Join us, and many others who have left a gift to the Chapter in their will, trust, or other gift plan, by making a legacy gift of your own all in pursuit of our life-saving mission.

You can turn your philanthropic nature into a philanthropic legacy today.
