This 4Th of July, the ALS SUPPORT GROUP will again have a fund raiser honoring Lou Gehrig's seventy-one years of retirement after being diagnosed with ALS. This year your donated money will stay at home in Hawaii to help our ALS families throughout Hawaii. When ALS strikes a family member, this also affects the whole family and circle of friends. As the ALS progresses, more care is needed which becomes a heavy burden to the family especially if there are no other help and there are other involvements outside the home such as work, school and raising children. Family members become burnt out which signs are being resentful, depression and not doing a good job of care giving. These families need help with another care giver stepping in to give the family member respite time. However, this scenario does not take place very often because of the cost to hire another care giver. One of the goals of the ALS SUPPORT GROUP is to help these families by paying for a needed care giver in time of need.

Cost of tickets are $5 for delicious picnic food, a raffle ticket ,fun ole fashion games and baseball at Kapiolani Park staring at 11:00am-4:00pm.
Call Vi's cell (808) 256-9607 for tickets. See Natalie's poster above. We will also graciously accept your donations greater than $5.
