Target ALS

We are honored to share that Target ALS Founder and Chairman, Dan Doctoroff, has been named a recipient of the FNIH Partnership Award.

This recognition celebrates those who have made significant contributions to the FNIH’s work in support of the NIH mission by bringing together the people, resources, and vision needed to accelerate scientific discovery and improve human health.

Dan's founding of Target ALS was driven by that exact commitment: building a collaborative model that unites researchers, clinicians, and industry partners in pursuit of meaningful progress for people living with ALS. This award is a testament to what can accomplish when led with purpose.

Congratulations, Dan.

June 2nd is Lou Gehrig’s day, and ballparks across the league pause to honor him. Lou Gehrig was a Hall of Famer whose name became inseparable from ALS, and whose legacy continues to drive the fight against it.

Today, we're proud to stand alongside ALS United Greater New York, Her ALS Story, I AM ALS, and MAC Angels Foundation at two iconic New York venues. Together, we're showing up for the ALS community, raising awareness, and reminding everyone that this fight is stronger when we're in it together.

Join us at the ballpark tonight and on June 10th. Grab your tickets below.

This ALS Awareness Month, we asked our community to join us in going for ALS research.

The response was overwhelming. People living with the disease. Children who have lost their parents to it. Best friends lost too soon. Families, caregivers, researchers, advocates, each of them sharing their experience, starting fundraisers, making donations, telling us why they are ALL IN.

Every face you see here represents someone who is ALL IN for ALS research, and someone we are ALL IN for. Together, we will build a world where Everyone with ALS Lives.

Now and always, go : https://ow.ly/SuFJ50Z5o0L

ALS research is only as strong as the people it represents. For too long, that representation has been narrow. Historically, only about 5% of ALS study participants have been of non-Caucasian descent. The ALS Global Research Initiative (AGRI) is changing that.

Through the Global Natural History Study and community-based pop-up clinics, AGRI is closing gaps in research and making participation possible for communities that ALS research has too often left behind.

Today, 36% of participants in our Global Natural History Study are non-Caucasian, and diversity is growing.

This is what being ALL IN looks like at scale: https://ow.ly/B41x50Z5nO8
