"Polaris has a long history of giving back and is proud to support this effort," said Wine. "We encourage our strong network of dealers to accept the nomination or donate to an ALS charity."

Polaris has been involved with the Black Woods Blizzard Tour, a snowmobile ride to fight ALS, since its inception 15 years ago. Since then, Polaris employees have raised more than $900,000 for the cause and are hoping to hit the $1 million mark in 2015.
