Dear Friends:

We are very happy to present the sponsorship opportunities for the 13th annual East Greenwich Rotary/ALS 5K Race/Walk, to be held on April 20, 2013.   The Scott Carlson Memorial Road Race is very proud of the fact that  all proceeds directly benefit local Rhode Islanders who are struggling with ALS.   Last year we proudly donated $62,000 to the ALS chapter in Rhode Island!

Who would have thought 13 years ago we would be still growing and expanding our race!!  We are offering many different race sponsorship opportunities again this year.  We have a number of monetary levels of support, most of which automatically entitle you to be recognized on our T-Shirt and possibly in all print advertising for the race. 

Also this year as a sponsor you have the opportunity to display your merchandise or services at our race.  You must provide the display and due to State regulations no commerce can be transacted.  It is a wonderful opportunity for hundreds of racers, families and park visitors to see you and your company.

All of the proceeds from the race go to the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Association, Rhode Island Chapter.  This local chapter intimately supports the victims, families and caregivers of ALS through their many avenues of medical, financial, family resource, and equipment donation outreach.

Please review this package of information.  Pay close attention to the newest article by the ALSRI executive director Nancy Feroldi who gives meaning to our passion to fight ALS.  We also have a page detailing the Sponsorship Opportunities and what you can expect to receive for your monetary donation.  You will see that the visibility afforded to you through race sponsorship will be known to a wide variety of people throughout Rhode Island and New England.

Finally, there is a Sponsorship Form that you can fill out and return as indicated.  We ask that you inform us by March 10th (or sooner please!) regarding your support this year.

Thank you in advance for your support of this year’s race!

Dr. Judith A. Pratt - race chairperson

Reasons To Consider Sponsoring “The Scott Carlson Memorial 5K Run/Walk”

I know that volunteerism is alive and well here in our Rhode Island community because I have witnessed the benefits from it firsthand. One fine example of “volunteerism at its best” has been demonstrated year after year by the members of the 5K Committee of the East Greenwich Rotary Club. For nine years running they have come together with a vision and purpose to organize and implement the Scott Carlson 5K Fun Run/Walk. Their efforts are tireless and their devotion superb. They engage friends, neighbors, local businesses and “leave no stone unturned’ to create a successful charitable event. They never lose sight of their ambitious goal of bringing the community together to help raise ALS awareness and funds to support the local Rhode Island Chapter of the ALS Association.

Now approaching the 13th Anniversary of this impressive event, it is time to pause, celebrate and publicly thank the East Greenwich Rotary Club for their many contributions. But more importantly, their unwavering financial support to the Chapter that now approaches the $300,000 mark! Their annual gift makes it possible for the Chapter to offer the much-needed ALS programs and services that we alone provide:
      An ALS Patient Service Coordinator to answer questions, calm fears, make home visits, and link to valuable resources to ensure living a fuller and more independent life throughout their ALS journey.

      Top-notch multidisciplinary medical care here in Rhode Island at the Chapter-sponsored Louise Wilcox ALS Clinic where ALS patients, with and without insurance, receive comprehensive and coordinated care.

      Equipment Loans to provide durable medical equipment to assist ALS patients and caregivers with daily living needs ranging from wheelchairs to hospital beds to high-tech communicative devices. Other services include: Monthly Support Groups, Respite Care and Handicapped Transportation.

      Patient Education and Patient Advocacy on both the local and national level. This helped to bring the ALS public policy changes that respond to the specific needs of people with ALS, including veterans.

      And, millions of dollars worth of worldwide, cutting-edge ALS Research Programs.

I honestly do not know where our Rhode Island Chapter would be today without the incredible volunteer leadership and financial support of the East Greenwich Rotary Club. Thank you to all who have sponsored in the past. I am grateful to you and hope you will sponsor this event again this year. To those who have never sponsored, I am asking for your careful consideration to join the effort this year and to be part of the event’s 10th Anniversary Celebration. For it is only by working together that we will serve our many friends and neighbors currently battling this devastating disease and provide the hope that a treatment and cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease will soon be found.

Sincerely,
Nancy J. Feroldi
Executive Director
