These events raise funds to support the mission as well as increase awareness about als in the community.

The Foundation provides resources and grants to a number of families to assist with their request to enhance their family members quality of life. The grants provide funds for various items including the purchase of communication devices which allows the als patient to continue to communicate with others, in-home health care so a family can gain back some financial stability and minor home improvements that provide handicapped accessability.
