Donate and Support ALS Research
Through our collaborative ALS research, the Packard Center seeks to unlock ALS. Your generosity helps bring us closer to a cure.
Over 30,000 people currently have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and nearly 5,600 people are newly diagnosed each year. We are working to help improve the lives of people living with ALS and are striving for a cure.
Your tax-deductible contributions are essential to support our accelerated Packard-sponsored ALS research taking place in labs all around the world. The Packard Center is fully funded through philanthropy. Your generosity helps to fulfill our mission and bring us closer to a cure. Thank you!
