Since 2008, Active Against ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) has had a mission to raise funds for research toward effective
treatments and ultimately a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease), while raising awareness
of the disease, encouraging physical activity, and building a compassionate community.
2023 marks the 15-Year Anniversary of the non-profit and they are celebrating this
milestone with a wine tasting event, Uncork a Cure for ALS, at York Food & Drink on
October 5, 2023. The event will raise funds for ALS research while raising awareness of
ALS. The event will be held from 6:00 – 9:00 PM and include a wine tasting with
delicious food from York, desserts donated by Zingerman’s, a silent auction including a
weekend at the Inn at Bay Harbor, music by Community High Jazz and more!

“We invite everyone to join us for an evening of fun and community to help us
celebrate our 15-year anniversary while learning more about ALS and raising much
needed funds for research,” shared Anne Gilbert, Event Chair for Uncork a Cure for ALS.

About ALS
ALS ( aka Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a neurological disease that primarily affects the nerve
cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement (those muscles we
choose to move). Voluntary muscles produce movements like chewing, walking, and
talking. The disease is progressive, meaning the symptoms get worse over time. Currently,
there is no cure for ALS and no effective treatment to halt or reverse the progression of
the disease.
