Founded in 2016, the Michael R. Myers Memorial Golf Classic was established in memory of Michael R. Myers, an entrepreneur who dedicated his life to building and growing communities in Iowa. Mike was passionate about giving back to the community, and when he was diagnosed with ALS in 1996, this passion took the form of helping others struggling with this horrible disease. Though Mike passed away in 2006, his desire to support those battling ALS and support research to find a cure lives on through the Michael R. Myers Legacy Social & Memorial Golf Classic.

In the past seven years, due to overwhelming kindness and generosity, our annual event has raised over $1.3 MILLION DOLLARS for the direct benefit of Iowa Chapter of The ALS Association and the event has become Iowa’s largest annual golf fundraiser.

Our 2024 goal is to raise $350,000!

The ALS Association is the only national not-for-profit health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS through research, care services, public education, and advocacy – providing help and hope to those facing the disease. The Iowa Chapter serves this vision by raising funds to provide local care services and support national ALS research and advocacy efforts.
