A nonprofit fueled by hope

Bringing a spark of hope to families facing ALS.

ALS Spark4Life exists to provide hope and support to patients and families affected by ALS and other terminal illness — through community, compassion, and the funds we raise together.

Join a community of neighbors, volunteers, and supporters showing up for one another.

Hope

We remind every family that they are not walking this road alone — there is light, and there is community.

Support

From a warm meal to a moment of rest, we help carry the everyday weight that comes with a diagnosis.

Community

Every event, every dollar, every volunteer hour is neighbors coming together to spark life for one another.

Understanding ALS

What is ALS?

ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often called Lou Gehrig's disease — is a progressive disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. Over time, it makes walking, speaking, eating, and breathing increasingly difficult.

There is no cure yet — but there is a great deal of hope. Care, connection, and community can make a profound difference in the lives of patients and the families who love them.
