On Thursday, May 19th, we commemorated A.L.S. Awareness Month and our Foundation's 10 year Anniversary with our week-long awareness campaign, "A Decade of Light" and a cocktail party at the Boston Design Center.
The kickoff cocktail reception included complimentary wine and beer courtesy of Urban Grape and the Boston Beer Company. Edible centerpieces were provided by Cape Cod Lollicakes.
The awareness campaign was made possible by the generosity of participating showrooms. They allowed us to take over their windows with pictures of our A.L.S. family members and their stories for a whole week! They lit our photos and their windows with a special lamp for 24 hours a day for 7 days and nights symbolizing the light the Foundation has been in the lives of A.L.S. patients and their families as they travel through the darkness of A.L.S. Many showrooms also donated silent auction items.
We are so very grateful to Lauren Young at the Boston Design Center and our participating showroom friends...
