All proceeds from the event will support MDA’s services and research programs as well as educate the community on over 40 neuromuscular diseases MDA currently fights.
MDA (www.mda.org) is the number one provider of neuromuscular research and relies almost entirely on private donations. MDA receives no funding from the United Way or the Federal Government. This voluntary health agency works to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases through programs of worldwide research, comprehensive services, and far-reaching professional and public health education. The largest fund-raiser for MDA is the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, September 3 – 4, check your local listing.
