Want to help a good cause?

Hi everyone,

Many of you have heard of the raffle in our area going on to benefit the ALS Utica Chapter. (ALS is otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.) "ALS is a fatal disease that attacks the nerve cells (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and muscle power, eventually leaving the patient completely paralyzed. As the muscles waste away, a person with ALS loses their ability to walk, speak, swallow, and eventually breathe. Yet in most patients their mind remains unaffected. An ALS diagnosis proves fatal in an average of three to five years." The above information is from the ALSutica.org website.

The raffle is a great bargain! 1 ticket can be purchased for $15 or 3 tickets for $30. The winner will receive 16 tickets (yep, really! 16!) to the Mets vs Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in June. Did I mention the tickets are for the Hall of Fame Suite??

Please check out:

www.alsutica.org

for all the details. The total package is worth $6000.

Remember, even if you cannot make the game, the cause is still worth it!

Thanks for considering it,
Angie
