MDA's Wings Over Wall Street® is a VIP cocktail reception, with exciting live, silent, and research minute auctions, founded and supported by PALS and CALS to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association to fund research to find a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. In 2007, MDA's Wings raised nearly $800,000, bringing its 7-year total to over $7 million. Contact the MDA at 212-689-9040 or specialeventwings@mdausa.org for information on sponsorships, auction donations, Event Journal ads, how to volunteer, and how to join with us in 2008 to find a cure for ALS..

Funds raised at MDA's Wings Over Wall Street® benefit the research teams of Hiroshi Mitsumoto, MD of the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig MDA/ALS Center at Columbia University, and Jeffery Rothstein, MD of The Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins. The genetic and molecular research funded by MDA's Wings Over Wall Street® will also help fund treatments and cures for other neuromuscular and related diseases, not just ALS.

MDA spends more dollars than any other national voluntary health care organization on direct health care services, ALS support groups, and medical equipment, while helping to support the global scientific search for a cure.
