Resources for ALS Families
We connect ALS families with practical support through community fundraisers, awareness events, and direct resource navigation.
Support that shows up in practical ways.
ALS brings unprecedented challenges, but families should not have to figure everything out alone. SHIFSTRONG focuses on the places where community can reduce pressure quickly and meaningfully through fundraising events, resource navigation, and peer support.
Fundraising Events
Our events include the Home Run Derby, ALS Awareness Game, Boston Red Sox LG4 Day outreach, and other community fundraisers that support ALS families.
Financial Support
ALS creates financial stress. SHIFSTRONG works to ease that burden with practical support, equipment assistance, and resource navigation.
Virtual Discussions
We host group discussions for ALS families to share experiences, provide mutual support, and combat isolation.
Equipment & Resource Access
Navigating ALS requires specialized tools. We help families bridge the gap to critical equipment and trusted resources that improve quality of life.
