Spread The Word

Welcome to the Researching A Cure Fundraising Campaign website. This is our 10th annual campaign with CVS/pharmacy to raise funds for ALS research, a nerve disorder that leads to paralysis and death, and will afflict between 300,000 to 750,000 Americans alive today.

There is no cure and the cause is unknown – but YOU can make a difference today.

Here is how you can help...

This website offers tips, tools and resources for spreading the word and educating your network and online community about ALS. Share tweets on Twitter, post a message on Facebook, write about the campaign for your blog or newsletter and include one of our PSAs or photos, etc. The ways you can help are limitless, and YOU will be making a difference.

In addition, you can visit your local CVS/pharmacy and donate at the register, or at www.CVS.com. Every dollar raised supports the ALS Therapy Alliance; committed to finding a cure.

We want to hear from you!!

Do you have questions or need more information, please Contact Us directly. We would be happy to discuss any ideas you have for spreading the word about ALS.
