Volunteers Needed for 2024 I AM ALS Flag Event on the National Mall
We are seeking Phi Delta Theta and Live Like Lou volunteers in the DC/MD/VA area to take photographs of a meaningful flag display at the National Mall for people living with and affected by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Make a real difference for people and their families living with ALS by coming out to the National Mall on Wednesday, May 29 from 1 PM to 6 PM (or until the project is completed) to help take pictures of 6,000 flags that symbolize the number of people diagnosed with ALS this year. Flags are personalized for people living with and lost to ALS as well as ALS gene carriers. Photographs will be downloaded and shared all over the country.
Volunteers should meet at the National Mall between Washington Monument and 14th St NW. Metro stops near the installation are Smithsonian and Archives/Navy Memorial/Penn Quarter.
