Families Unite Against ALS is a result of these three families coming together to promote ALS awareness, and to raise money to fund research in hopes of finding a cure.
We are a recognized 501(c)(3) organization.
To date, our foundation has raised and donated over $500,000 towards ALS research.
Families Unite Against ALS is completely driven by volunteers.
No salaries are paid, and all net profits are donated to ALS research.
If you are interested in joining our team as a volunteer,
or have any ideas of ways to improve or support our mission, please contact us.
