Through the generous donations you have collected or personally contributed, you have helped raise over $600,000.00 towards our fundraising goal!  We're not there yet, but just think, if each participant collected an additional $50 within the next month, we will reach our fundraising goal of $701,000!

The number of people diagnosed in with ALS in Florida continues to grow at an alarming rate.  We've had 123 new PALS since January 1st (as of 6/6/08)!  That's why reaching our fundraising goal is essential to The Association’s ability to serve the ever-growing number of ALS patients and their families.

Though we describe them as contributions or donations, we really view these gifts as investments in the health of our community.  Please know your generosity has made an impact on the lives of many ALS patients, and we are so thankful for your support!
