Our Longest-Running Annual Fundraiser!
Join us this September 7th 2023 for Live Every Day 2023
This year, we are back in-person together for the first time since 2019! You can expect an evening of fun, inspiration, music and great food! Our goal for the evening is to raise the funds we need to provide free in-home care to 25 families who are navigating ALS, for a total goal of $125,000.
Help us meet your goal by September 7th. Click the button below to donate to support Live Every Day 2023.
Our wide range of services are always free. Thanks to your generous support, we are helping over 110 people living with ALS each year as they navigate this challenging, progressive disease.
Grab your dancing shoes and let's do it again this year!
OUR THEME
A Spark in the Night
Our theme this year is “A Spark in the Night.” This theme is meant to signal the inner spark – the ‘fight’, the deep resilience, the strength and hope - that people living with ALS demonstrate as they navigate the challenges of this progressive disease.
The “spark” is what our mission is all about at The Joe Martin ALS Foundation. We help people living with ALS (PALS) live actively (“with purpose, with joy, and with hope”) throughout their ALS journey. Our goal is to provide the resources and support PALS and their families need to overcome the often dark, overwhelming feelings following an ALS diagnosis, and to light the spark inside of them to keep on living every day.
