YFALS National Corntoss Challenge!

May and June, 2012

In May and June, people will come together across the country to join in a day of FUNdraising playing the favorite tailgate game, Corntoss. This is a charity tournament with thousands of captive participants attending in cities from coast to coast. All proceeds from donations and sponsorships will go directly toward research for a treatment for ALS.

What is the YFALS Campaign?

The YFALS Campaign (Young Faces of ALS) was created by a small group of people living with ALS today who all share a disturbing characteristic - they all received their diagnosis before their 30th birthday. Most emphasis on ALS is placed on those that develop the disease during midlife, and before YFALS there was no national public recognition of the youth battling ALS. The campaign was created as a community for young patients of ALS as well as young family and friends affected by the disease. YFALS has become a catalyst for accelerating research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute through fundraising events.
