Southern Illinois community members donate over $7,000 to the ALS Association St. Louis Regional Chapter

Huckleberry�s Pub owner Andy Clarke and Arnold Burris presented a check for $7,200 to the ALS Association St. Louis Regional Chapter�s care services coordinator Lori Dobbs on Wednesday, September 19. The money was raised from the Golf Tournament for ALS held last month and a Facebook fundraiser accompanying the event.

The golf tournament, held at Egyptian Country Club in Mounds, IL, was held in honor of Clarke�s sister, Linda Jackson, who lost her battle to ALS several years ago. Events honoring Linda have occurred for the last three years, this year�s event setting a new record of money raised. Burris was recently diagnosed with ALS.
