Our participant center has many templates for you to use to invite friends and family to join you at the event or support your fundraising efforts. If you wish to send emails from the participant center, the registration system requires that you have a $5 donation on your personal page. This $5 could be a self-donation or a donation through the link on your personal page. This requirement was implemented as a preventative measure to prevent scammers from accessing the message center and sending unwanted messages. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and are here to help you and answer any questions you may have. 

1. Log onto the event website to access your participant center.
2. Once you log in, scroll down, and on the right side, there will be a blue window asking if you want to connect your Facebook to your fundraising page. Click “Edit Fundraiser Content.”
   
3. Edit the message you want to post on your Facebook page and click “Connect.” Make sure your popups are unblocked for the next step.
4. Another window will appear. Click “Continue as YOUR NAME,” then click “Okay.”
5. You should be connected through your participant center and can begin fundraising!

You can register online here or contact one of our Special Events & Fundraising Coordinators, Leina Panui and Taylor Maxwell, at leina.panui@alsnorthwest.org or taylor.maxwell@alsnorthwest.org.

If you have any technical problems logging in or navigating the website, just reach out!

Registration fees help us to cover costs for food, rest stops, and rider/route support.

Registered participants ages 11 and older must fundraise $150 by the day of the event.

Participants ages 10 and under are encouraged, but not required.

The fundraising minimum makes reaching our goal a true team effort and guarantees a successful event.

Let ALS Northwest’s staff help you with your fundraising efforts - there are so many tools available to make raising the minimum easy and fun! Contact us today! Proceeds from the Beers and Gears event benefit local care services and critical research efforts.

Registration fees are waived for persons living with ALS, but they are asked to still meet the $150 fundraising minimum.

If you are a person living with ALS, you must register by contacting our ALS Northwest office, as we have limited spots available and certain requirements to meet through our partnership with Oregon Adaptive Sports.

Contact Holly Miller at holly.miller@alsnorthwest.org share your interest and guarantee your spot.
