The ALS Association is now accepting applications for The Jane Calmes ALS Scholarship Fund for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. Established in 2019, the scholarship is designed to support post-high school education for students whose lives have been impacted by ALS, with recipients receiving up to $5,000 per year to help cover the cost of education.
We are thrilled to debut the 1st Annual Massachusetts CEO Soak at the Rings Fountain on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday June 10, 2021.
We are challenging business and higher education leaders across the Commonwealth to get soaked and raise awareness and funds for The ALS Association Massachusetts Chapter; there’s even a virtual attendance option!
“Shortly after being diagnosed, I began researching and discovered how devastating this disease really is,” Pattie says. “In those early months I struggled emotionally with the outlook that was now my reality. Eventually, I chose to use my situation as motivation to try and make a difference for the future of ALS.”
