September 1 marked the end of the 2011 Researching a Cure fundraising campaign held each year at CVS/pharmacy locations throughout the U.S.  A huge thanks to the colleagues at, and customers of, CVS who helped us raise $4.3 million this year for ALS research.

Members from our Board of Directors, CVS executives, and ALS co-spokespeople and their families all came together at Fenway Park in Boston, MA to celebrate the occasion and create awareness of ALS.
