Summer Comps

• Wonderful opportunities for children living with muscular                dystrophy to spend time with kids who are just like them,                      doing activities adapted to their needs and establishing                          new friendships. NALC members are proud                                                of the fundraising work we do all year long to support research to one day deliver a cure and to help make camps like these a reality.

Muscle Walks

• A series of fun, non-competitive local walks held across                           the country, funding research and services for people                              with any of more than 40 muscle-damaging diseases.                        Muscle Walks provides an opportunity to honor adults                              and children with any of the more than 40 muscle diseases in MDA’s program, walk to have fun and get some light exercise, and raise funds to help MDA support research and provide vital services to families affected by neuromuscular disease.

Bowlathons

• One more way NALC can show how serious we are                              about our long partnership with MDA. For some                            branches, it might have been years since they’ve                                  done any sort of MDA fund-raising. Others may                                      never have. An event such as a bowlathon gives branches a project they can plug right into, with a goal of increasing branch and letter carrier participation.

Fill the Satchel

• Letter carriers, in uniform and with their postal satchels,                            set up at various locations around the country, collecting                        from motorists, pedestrians, shoppers and even from                                the crowds heading into sports venues.
