ALS Memorial Open Auction

For the past 30 years, the ALS Memorial Open Golf Tournament has been our “labor of love” in which we pay tribute to our fathers and grandfathers, John C. Daly and James W. Michaels, as well as the many others who have been stricken with ALS – a degenerative neuromuscular disease more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Typically, this tournament is held in June, the month that marks Father’s Day. Due to Covid-19 our tournament, for this year only, we are holding the event in the fall.

Funds raised from this auction will continue to play a critical role in caring for the many individuals and families in the battle against this devastating disease. You may be assured that your generous commitment will help St. Peter’s ALS Regional Center and the staff as they continue to touch the lives of those living with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
