One hundred percent of the event's net proceeds will remain in British Columbia and the Yukon, providing direct support to individuals living with ALS, essential patient services programs, and ALS research through the PROJECTHOPE initiative, which is currently establishing a world-class ALS Centre at the University of British Columbia's Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health.
The aim is to assemble a top-tier clinical care and research team to enhance patient care, advance ALS research, and ultimately find a cure for ALS.
