Whether you have purchased tickets, sponsored, participated in our fundraising activities this evening, volunteered your time, or all of the above, we just couldn't have done this without you. That goes the same for all the support we've received this year. We are so grateful to all who support our efforts. Whether you've registered for the ALS ONE license plate, golfed, ran, swam, painted, trucked, frighted, dined, participated in any of our other events, or have been there as a valuable resource and supporter in any way...we are so thankful.

ABOUT ALS ONE The ALS ONE team has identified the strongest therapeutic opportunities in ALS and are working together to expedite progress with the goal of finding breakthrough treatments or a cure for ALS by 2020, through the sharing of ideas and division of responsibility to advance research projects. A percentage of funds raised is directed to support improved care for people living with ALS. The ALS ONE scientific plan is milestone-driven and will require significant funding to advance. We raise funds through grassroots fundraising at events just like the ALS ONE SNOW BALL, major gifts, donor-advised funds, business partnerships, corporate sponsorships, and non-profit alliances. Your help is critical to the success of this unprecedented plan.

EVERY 90 SECONDS Every 90 Minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and someone else passes away from it. Here are just some of the many FACES OF ALS™ who are battling or have lost their battle to that horrific disease. The print and video gallery will be on display at the ALS ONE SNOW BALL.

Remembering our Founder In May of 2015, Kevin Gosnell, a 47-year old husband, father of three and successful business owner, was diagnosed with ALS. After realizing that there was no cure and nothing that the doctors could do treat his devastating illness, he made a brave decision: to dig deeper, ask questions, and use the resources, team building skills and relationships he had cultivated as a business owner to create a new organization. ONE committed to bringing the best ALS doctors, researchers, and care practitioners from leading institutions together with one vision and goal. ONE organization committed to working together as a team to expedite the path to finding a cure for the disease from which he was dying. Kevin knew that the organization he founded would not save him, but he forged forward to provide hope for all those suffering, and to change the course of history for future generations. Kevin sadly lost his battle with ALS in August of 2016, just 15 months after his diagnosis. His legacy and vision continue through the work of ALS ONE. And this work will continue until his mission is realized and ALS ONE becomes ALS DONE.

Our Thanks Dear friends, The ALS ONE SNOW BALL is always such an incredibly heartwarming night and there are so many volunteers to thank. for helping to ensure it's success. I'm beyond grateful to the ALS ONE SNOW BALL committee members, who have worked tirelessly to make the SNOW BALL possible. These folks have helped me over the past few months and I don't know what I'd do without them: Bob DiMartino, Deb Rabidou, Bonnie & Bob Samson, Kate Soltesz, Maria Ray, Rob Sheehan, & Kevin Tobin. We also thank Barrett's Restaurant Group and Plymouth Bay Catering for being so incredibly generous, Patrice Shields & Jim Fagan for their guidance and support! In addition, I am extremely grateful for the all-star volunteer team who spent the night of the 8th working to help make everything perfect: Dan & Jill Abbett, Kathy & Erin Carpenter, Molly Duggan, Maddi Giovanucci, Nick Graziano, Julia & Kristen Gruseck, Sarah Heffernan, Anna Horgan, Emily Mosca, Carolyn & Lilly Parker, Danielle Ray, Kylie Steidle, Julia & Julie Ann Stratton, Anniek Van Aarem.
