"Every 90 minutes a person is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes another person dies of ALS."
ALS, often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease mostly strikes adults between the ages of 40 and 70, and as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time.
The Ben E Keith Calling All Heroes Fundraiser is a signature event benefiting the ALS Association of North Texas. The inaugural event takes place on Friday, July 8, 2011, at eM in the Dallas Design District. The evening includes entertainment, dancing, live and silent auctions, food and open bar.
Individual tickets start at $125. Click here to purchase tickets.
