GEM OF A FUNDRAISER

The Rotary Club of Grimsby recently donated $1,000 to the annual Amethyst for ALS fundraiser. This money will be used in support of patient care and equipment services for residents suffering from ALS in the West Niagara area. Hamilton Health Services currently assists 350 patients with ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease) and as yet there is no cure.  
 
It is hoped that other Clubs in the Hamilton area would consider  the annual Amethyst for ALS fundraiser as one of the charities supported.
