Purpose & Description of Event:
The EAU Dance TUTU TROT is a 4.3 mile brisk walk/run around Reeds Lake to encourage physical fitness, build community awareness and raise funds for the ALS Association – Michigan Chapter. The TUTU TROT welcomes walkers of all ages, strollers, and furry friends.


After losing her grandmother to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) in July 2015, EAU Dance Director, Emily Underwood was motivated to organize an event that would inspire people of all ages to raise awareness and funds for ALS, while promoting health and wellness within the community. The family-friendly TUTU TROT captures Grandma Mary McElevey’s zest for life and her love of the lakeshore in a way that brings people and families together … in tutus.

About ALS:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord resulting in the loss of muscle control and eventual death.

About the ALS Association:
Mission: Leading the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. The Michigan Chapter supports people living with ALS and their loved ones through services and education. No stone is unturned in search for the cure of this progressive neurodegenerative disease.
