We are one of 38 ALS Association Chapters nationwide and we serve all of Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. Our programs and services are provided free of charge, thanks to the generosity of thousands of donors each year.

The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting ALS on every front. Our mission is to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.

To eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research;
