Firefighter battling
ALS says thank you

I want to send a huge thank you to the residents and businesses of Western Springs for their generous support during our Tag Day for the Les Turner ALS Foundation. Through their contributions and support, we raised $9,300 for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research and patient services while spreading awareness regarding this terrible disease. This could not have happened without the tireless efforts of over 100 volunteers that included firefighters, District 101 teachers, neighbors, friends and family. Again, thanks to everyone for their donations of both time and money.
