ABOUT ONE DOLLAR DIFFERENCE

Curt Schilling always says, "What if your dollar…or your friend's dollar…or your co-worker's dollar was THE DOLLAR that put us over the top to identify the cause and cure for Lou Gehrig's disease?"

Program Overview

One Dollar Difference offers constituents the opportunity to create fun and creative third-party events on the behalf of The ALS Association. No matter where someone is located or the time of year, anyone can host an event to help in our fight to cure and treat Lou Gehrig's Disease.

How it Works

Through our online platform, organizers and participants can promote and fundraise for their event anywhere at anytime. Funds collected through One Dollar Difference will be contributed directly to the Chapter in which the event organizer has designated. Ongoing tips and support will be provided for participants to make their experience enjoyable and easy, as well as alleviate the burden from Chapter staff. One Dollar Difference will expand The ALS Association's fundraising initiatives to meet the needs of existing third-party event fundraisers and grant new prospects to interested parties.
