Volunteers

Annually, the ALS Therapy Alliance runs its Researching a Cure fundraising campaign, which began in 2002.

Our first campaign started with CVS/pharmacy customers donating $1 at the register during a three-week fundraising effort in the summer. Today, that partnership is growing strong and has raised nearly $28 million for researching a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.  

100% of funds raised benefit the ALS Therapy Allaince. Up until 2009, 100% of all monies raised from fundraising efforts went directly to research. In 2009, the organization incurred a 2% over head cost, 5% in 2010 and we expect to not exceed 8% in 2011. Not many organizations can claim that more than 90% of money raised from fundraising goes towards research efforts.

In order to keep our overhead costs at a minimum, we seek volunteers who would be able to assist us with fundraising activities annually as well as organizations that would be willing to donate in-kind services.
