Help Find A Cure For ALS!

WELCOME TO THE ANGEL FUND FOR ALS RESEARCH

The Angel Fund for ALS Research (Angel Fund, Inc.) is an independent non-profit charity (04-3478977) dedicated to supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) investigations at UMass Chan Medical School in Worcester, MA, internationally recognized for its ground-breaking work in the fight against this devastating illness.

The Angel Fund is special.

We are not a national charity – we are local. We have very low overhead and administrative costs.

Why are they so passionate?

Because most have lived through the heartbreak of seeing their loved one live with ALS and lose their battle to this horrific disease.


The Angel Fund donates $750,000 to ALS research.

At the recent Angel Fund Gala, it was announced that $750,000 was donated to UMass Chan Medical School. The 2024 donation will be used to further the ALS research of Dr. Robert Brown and his amazing research team.

Our mission is to support ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research and scientific investigations at UMass Chan Medical School by raising funds through events, campaigns, foundation grants and numerous other community outreach activities, to aid in finding a cause, treatment and cure for ALS.

Our Non-Profit Setup

Our offices are located in the law firm of Nigro Pettipet and Lucas, courtesy of Directors Jan and Eugene Nigro. Angel Fund President Rich Kennedy and the board members are not paid. As a result, it means we have very low overhead and administrative costs so more money goes to research. We are proud to say that 92% of funds expended goes to research.

  • No rent
  • No utility bills
  • No high paid executives



May is ALS Awareness Month

ALS is a diagnosis that no one wants to hear. It changes everything in an instant. It’s not just the person who receives the diagnosis who feels the weight of it—it ripples out to their family, friends, and caregivers.

May is ALS Awareness Month. It is month to create more awareness to the need of raising critical funds to find a treatment and cure.

With your help, we can fund research that brings hope to our ALS warriors and their families. Step Up to Cure ALS.
