Friday Jeans Day Charity: ALS Association

ALS Association LogoOnce or twice a month, my employer allows employees to wear jeans on a Friday, with the caveat (or a strongly made recommendation) that a minimum donation of $5 is made to a local charity, selected by committee and announced a few days in advance.  A couple of weeks ago, we supported the America Red Cross in response to the Joplin tornado disaster.

Today’s charity is the ALS Association.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also commonly known as ‘Lou Gherig’s Disease.’
