The Market-Ice Bucket Challenge

The Market-Ice Bucket Challenge! The Market employees will participate in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Saturday August 15, at 2pm.

What does The ALS Association do?
The ALS Association's mission includes providing care services to assist people with ALS and their families through a network of 39 chapters working in communities across the nation and a global research program focused on the discovery of treatments and a cure for the disease. In addition, The Association's advocacy efforts empower people to advance policies in our nation's capital that respond to the needs of people with ALS. It is through this integrated approach that we are able to support people living with the disease, provide them with vital benefits, and ultimately find a treatment and cure.

How has the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge accelerated ALS research?
The challenge has energized the research community, and The ALS Association has laid out a plan to triple the amount we spend on research ever year. The challenge has also offered additional resources to pursue new programs, greater collaborative efforts and novel ideas. Most significantly, these added resources have enabled an accelerated timeline in treatment development.

We hope we can count on your support.  We need caring people like you to sponsor our event participants.
