Mission Statement
The Angel Fund for ALS Research mission is to support ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research and scientific investigations at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory at UMass Chan Medical School by raising funds through events, campaigns, foundation grants and numerous other community outreach activities, to aid in finding a cause, treatment and cure for ALS.
About This Cause
The Angel Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) research at UMass Chan Medical School internationally recognized for its ground-breaking work in the fight against this devastating illness. The laboratory is under the direction of world renowned ALS researcher Dr. Robert H. Brown, Jr. The Angel Fund is special. We are not a national charity – we are a local independent nonprofit charity. We have very low overhead and administrative costs. Our offices are located in the law firm of Nigro Pettipet and Lucas, courtesy of Directors Jan and Eugene Nigro. That means that The Angel Fund has no rent, no utility bills, no high-paid executives. Angel Fund President Rich Kennedy and the board members are not paid. Why are they so passionate? Because most have lived through the heartbreak of seeing their loved one live with ALS and lose their battle to this horrific disease. They have made a commitment to support Dr. Brown and his researchers until a cure is found, the goal of our original Angel, Ginny DelVecchio. They have a sense of urgency to find a treatment and cure by supporting the gene silencing therapy. We know the patients and their families – and the patients know us. The Angel Fund support provides Dr. Brown discretionary monies not available to him via other funding avenues and we know how important that is to his research and success. The Angel Fund may be a smaller charity in comparison to others – but we are mighty – we have raised and donated millions of dollars to Dr. Brown over our existence with the help of our supporters. We are proud to say that the total research expenditures incurred average 92% of the Angel Fund’s total expenditures (the remaining 8% attributable to administrative costs). We are so very fortunate to have so many Angel Fund family members that care so much and help us by hosting events, participating in the events, donating and volunteering. All for our mission – to find a treatment and cure for ALS. So when it comes time for you to help increase awareness for ALS, please remember that The Angel Fund supports ALS research. Every dollar counts in our mission to find a cure for ALS! The Angel Fund continues its mission to find a treatment and cure for ALS.
