ALS is also commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which refers to the Yankee’s first baseman who passed away from the disease in 1941 at just 37 years old.  Although there have been significant advances in research and treatment, there is still much more to learn about ALS.

ALS Awareness Month seeks to spread awareness, and encourages donations to support research, assist with family services, and provide financial support to individuals with ALS.

The Alpha Group will be accepting donations to benefit the Massachusetts Chapter of the ALS Association as part of Team Ienello, led by our Payroll Coordinator, Hayley, whose father lost his battle with ALS in 2014. Team Ienello will be hosting fundraising opportunities this fall in preparation for the Walk to Defeat ALS, which takes place each October.
