Walk to D'Feet ALS

The firm's involvement with the ALS Association began when one of our employees was diagnosed with ALS in 2000. This partnership had an impact at the national and local levels of this small nonprofit organization, helping to launch the organization's first-ever national fundraising effort — Walk to D'Feet ALS.

In support of the inaugural Walk to D'Feet ALS, Booz Allen offered pre-event consulting, designed the national event logo, and developed the event's collateral materials, which were shared by all their local chapters. Over time, Booz Allen has helped this nonprofit grow from a $25,000-per-year organization to an over $1-million organization through financial, in-kind, and pro-bono support. This growth has also been enabled through the efforts of the Booz Allen volunteers who participate in year-round fundraising and awareness activities.

ALS Executive Leadership Seminar

As part of its ongoing commitment, Booz Allen organized and hosted a Board training session in May 2001 on "Leadership in a Growing Nonprofit Organization." Executives from America's Charities, Planned Parenthood, and Booz Allen participated in an insightful panel discussion.
