It has been an exciting past couple of weeks, full of support, for ALS in the Heartland. On May 29, 2009, ALS in the Heartland held its fourth annual Golf Classic at Tiburon Golf Club. Many golfers hit the links in support of the agency’s patient services, respite program, and equipment program. A dinner, silent auction, and raffle emceed by KFAB broadcaster and ALS in the Heartland Board member, Tom Becka, completed the day.
 
One week later, on June 6, 2009, approximately 75 people took to their motorcycles and cars to join in on the fun and support of ALS in the Heartland for the 2009 Craig Thomas Poker Run. The run, which began and ended at Quaker Steak and Lube in Council Bluffs, covered 120 miles throughout western Iowa. Live music and a raffle, emceed by KETV Channel 7 News Anchor Brandi Petersen, concluded the event.
