Events
Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and every 90 minutes, someone dies from the disease.The ALS community faces daunting challenges. Team Gleason was founded to provide critical equipment, technology, long-term innovative care services, and life adventures for ALS patients.
Since 2011, we have provided over $20 million in services while partnering with technology giants and innovators to create enhanced technology to support added independence for those living with ALS.
Team Gleason has always led with “yes.” We aim to reach 70-100% of ALS families so they know our services and what is available to them. Our expanded goal is to accelerate access further so people living with the disease have the same level of service and expertise no matter where they are diagnosed or live.
Funds from events organized by Team Gleason and people like you are crucial to helping Team Gleason. Each year, dozens of people host large and small events that result in hundreds of thousands of dollars being raised to strengthen Team Gleason’s life-changing direct-service programs.
