Description
Dave’s Run for ALS is an event for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The event is named for the late David Filer who was an avid runner, active SAR member, and local business owner.

Beneficiaries
A portion of the race proceeds will benefit ALS research through the JIm Himelic Foundation.
In addition, the co-Race Director Steve Outridge (also SAR President) is challenging you to raise more money for ALS than he can. CAN YOU DO IT? If someone can meet this challenge you can shave what relatively little hair he has left off right there after the race using his own electric clippers! Donating on-line is secure, safe and easy! Simply follow the instructions in the document below! Or, print out the paper registration form from the website and use the section for donations to the Jim Himelic Foundation and mail in your payment to SAR (we will get it to the Foundation). One hundred percent of the donations sent directly to the U of A through the Jim Himelic Foundation go to ALS Research. There’s is no current cure for ALS. Let’s help change that, together!
