Benefitting
The ALS Association, Iowa Chapter
Back by popular demand, The Legacy Social will be a casual evening filled with food + cocktails, silent + live auction and mixing + mingling to fight ALS.
Our Annual Golf Classic is in memory of Michael R. Myers, an entrepreneur who dedicated his life to building and growing communities in Iowa. Mike was passionate about giving back to the community, and when he was diagnosed with ALS in 1996, this passion took the form of helping others struggling with this horrible disease. Though Mike passed away in 2006, his desire to support those battling ALS and support research to find a cure lives on through the Michael R Myers Memorial Legacy Social & Golf Classic.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
In the past seven years, because of overwhelming kindness and generosity, our annual event has raised over $975,000 for the direct benefit of The ALS Association, Iowa Chapter.
Our 2023 goal is to raise $225,000 via Sponsorships, Social Tables, Golf Foursomes, Event Activities and Call to Action Opportunities.
The ALS Association is the only national not-for-profit health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS.
It covers all the bases – research, care services, public education, and advocacy – providing help and hope to those facing the disease. The Iowa Chapter serves this vision by raising funds to provide local care services and support national ALS research and advocacy efforts.
