In 2008 Conrad auctioned off his jersey and Grey Cup ring to raise money for ALS and his former teammate Tony Proudfoot.
Wayne Conrad, a centre on the Alouettes' 1977 championship team, is auctioning off his Grey Cup jersey and ring to raise funds for the ALS Society of Quebec and B.C. "There's nothing you can do that's more sacred, Conrad told the Montreal Gazette's Herb Zurkowsky. "To be honest, I cherish it. I believe I have given the thing I cherish most. Do I love Tony Proudfoot? Yes, I do. Do I love his family? Yes, I do. Tony gave me that gift by calling me his friend. Money from a Vancouver fundraiser will also go to the Tony Proudfoot Fund. Proudfoot, a good friend and former teammate of Conrad's, suffers from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) .
