ADDITIONAL FUNDRAISERS
For some victims of A.L.S. taking a deep breath is a difficult
if not impossible task. Thankfully for Grace Probert the
disease has not yet progressed to such great lengths.
Although embroiled in her own battle with A.L.S., Grace
is a champion for her fellow Patients with A.L.S. (PALS).
Her involvement in local support groups extends beyond
participation with her family acting as hosts for cookouts
and other group functions.
Despite the obstacles she does endure everyday, it
appears that even from her wheelchair, nothing is beyond
Grace’s reach. The “Take Aim at A.L.S.”
Tournament is only the latest in a long line of Grace’s
personal crusades to help raise money for the fight
against A.L.S.
“Take Aim at A.L.S.” Paintball
Fundraiser
Participants are invited to Cape Cod Paintball in Bourne,
MA to partake in a fun-filled day of tournament-style
paintball activities. In it's simplest form, paintball
brings together two opposing teams competing at a game
of capture the flag. The game is played with a CO2 powered
paintball gun, which propels a biodegradable gelatin
capsule. These capsules break on impact leaving a "Splat"
of (washable) water-soluble paint. This paint mark denotes
that your opponent is "Out" or eliminated.
The exact game format will be determined upon arrival
at Cape Cod Paintball. Competitions generally last no
longer than 20 minutes allowing 6 to 10 games to be
played during the day. All games are refereed to insure
player safety and fair play.
Proceeds from the event benefit the A.L.S. Family Charitable
Foundation, Inc.

Annual Fundraising Dinner
to Honor Heath Millward
Each year the Butler Family proudly presents the Annual
Memorial Dinner to honor the memory their son, Heath Millward,
who lost his battle with A.L.S. Varying menus have netted
the same result-a great night of fundraising for the fight
against A.L.S.
Thanks to a gracious set of corporate sponsors and
the support of wonderful friends, virtually all the
money raised at the dinner goes to the A.L.S. Family
Charitable Foundation.
As Heath lived an active lifestyle and enjoyed many
outdoor activities, most notably skiing, the Butler
Family traditionally makes a special request that the
funds from the annual dinner benefit the Foundation’s
Vacation fund.
