The ALS Association is the only not-for-profit voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS.
The Minnesota Chapter was incorporated in 1993 when patients, families and related professionals banded together to share in their struggle with this tragic disease and to provide patient services, commnity education and support of national research. Kent Hrbek, former Minnesota Twins baseball player, and his wife, Jeanie are two of the Minnesota Chapter founders and continue to loyally support us.
The ALS Association (National Office and the Minnesota Chapter) operates under a shared mission.
We work together to accomplish our mission. The Minnesota Chapter focuses primarily on helping local patients and families live with ALS while the National Office focuses primarily on research and advocacy. The Chapter supports the National Office through revenue sharing and research contributions. The National Office supports the Chapters by providing up-to-date information and materials.
Our accomplishments are made possible by the generosity of others. From the smallest donation to the largest gift, donors touch the ALS community with hope for the future.
