ALS TDI Membership

"I take pride in the fact that I'm a TDI Research Club Member because I know that I'm funding a program which provides a window into what's at the root cause of this disease. This is something that's never been looked at for sporadic ALS and I think it's high time the work is completed."

- Faye Magneson, Member and ALS Patient

Standing Strong Together Will Make Possible A Cure

There are 30,000 people in the United States alone living with ALS. ALS TDI is the world's largest and leading translational ALS research center. In 2007, 30,000 membership will raise $3 million for ALS researchALS TDI began to implement a fast-track $60 million plan to discover molecular targets from which viable treatments could be developed. We are executing this plan with the help of ALS patients and their families.

Memberships can be purchased by anyone affected by ALS.  Do you have a loved one living with the disease today? Have you lost a loved one or a friend to the disease? Has your company been touched by ALS through an employee or colleague developing ALS? Quickly, the number of people truly affected by this disease grows in the millions.

The ALS TDI Membership Program was developed to do two things:

1 - Provide a way in which all patients and families of patients can be part of the world's largest and leading ALS research center (ALS TDI).

2 - Complement the grassroots fundraising programs at ALS TDI (TeamTDI, Driving4life, Tri-State Trek) by providing upwards of $3 million a year.

What does membership mean? What do members get?

  Periodic updates from the Institute with information about member only events and pre-registration information for ALS TDI functions.

  Members will also be listed on our website and in our annual report starting in 2008.

Members receive a membership card recognizing their commitment to the Institute's work.  On the back of the card are important contact information numbers at the Institute that members can call to get updates and to give to ALS patients looking for information.

  Membership shows that you are committed to funding research for a cure.

How are patients recognized through the membership program?

The program lists member names, not patient names. However, when you sign up as a member we provide you the opportunity to inform a patient or a patient's family that you have purchased the membership in their honor. Our goal is 30,000 membership each year, representing all patients in the US alone living with ALS today.

"The Research Club Membership program is a fantastic new concept that I'm excited to promote to my network of supporters. My sister lost her battle to ALS in February of 2007. She had a vision of a world free of ALS. This new program could definitely help make her vision a reality."

- Bernadette Cooper, Member
 

Every membership sold recognizes the courage of a person living with ALS today.  It is our goal to recognize every ALS patient living in the United States today by selling 30,000 memberships annually until a cure is found.  100% of your membership fee goes to fund research at ALS TDI.
