The 3rd Annual Everyday Heroes Gala is an evening celebrating and supporting Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”) research and honoring all of our fallen heroes, as well as those heroes who are currently battling ALS.

This year’s Gala will be held Saturday April 27, 2013 at The Chattanoogan. The event will again be hosted by Chairs Clay and Gina Crumbliss, along with a team of community leaders and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

The event was started in loving memory of one of our own local heroes, Calder Willingham, who lost his battle with ALS shortly after being diagnosed. One of Calder’s wishes was for his family and friends to create awareness of ALS in the Chattanooga community, as well as raise funds for research to help find a cure.
