Upcoming Events
Join us for the 21st Annual Research Update and Awards Luncheon!
We invite you to this complimentary event where you'll learn about the latest advancements in ALS research and the impact of your support in keeping HOPE on the Horizon.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Richard Bedlack as the keynote speaker for the event. Known for his patient-centered approach and research on ALS reversals, Dr. Bedlack is recognized for his colorful, unique style. He actively engages with the ALS community through social media, advocacy, and clinical trials aimed at improving the quality of life for patients and exploring potential treatments.
We will also share updates from the ALS Hope Foundation and recognize some of our amazing supporters.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you who joined us, donated, shared your story, lifted others, or supported us from afar. Our Annual Gala of Hope presented by Green Star Exteriors was held on April 5th, 2025 and it was a night overflowing with hope, connection, and love.
To our incredible sponsors, volunteers, speakers, Doug Hill and his family, Emcee Jeff Kurkjian, and guests, you helped us create something truly special. Your kindness, dedication, and belief in our mission were felt in every single detail, from the meaningful words spoken on stage to the messages of hope and love on the Gratitude Wall.
A special thank you to Stephen Kellogg for his dedication and willingness to add personal touches to the day for the Hill family, and to Governor Josh Shapiro for his inspirational (and funny!) message of hope. (Giants’ fans were in Eagles’ territory!)
This night reminded us just how powerful our community is when we come together. With your help, we raised critical funds and awareness for ALS research, care, and advocacy. But more than that we shared a night that will live in our hearts for a very long time.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is the most common degenerative disease of the adult motor system. It leads to progressive weakness, loss of muscle movement, and paralysis.
Our mission is to provide Care for patients and families with ALS, Education to our community, and Research towards a cure for ALS. We do this by funding the MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine; hosting educational events and seminars; and supporting the Dr. Robert Sinnott Research Laboratory at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine.
We need your help to continue to work towards a cure for ALS! Make a difference in the lives of those with ALS by donating directly, participating in one of our or your own fundraising events, or joining our volunteers!
