Hoops4ALS is a program dedicated to uniting basketball coaches, players, and fans to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Hoop4ALS games will feature special ALS awareness presentations and fundraising opportunities to support the fight to end ALS. Proceeds from these events benefit the essential research to end ALS at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI).
In 2024 and 2025, there are several Hoops4ALS events coming up across the country, including:
