Dear ALS Supporter -

 

The ALS Therapy Alliance and CVS/pharmacy have big news!

 

Recently, CVS/pharmacy kicked off a new fundraising campaign called Advancing Medical Research to help improve the quality of life for those living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS.

 

Customers visiting CVS/pharmacy during the month of June can donate $1 or $3 to the Advancing Medical Research campaign at checkout or online at www.cvs.com/alscff.

The nationwide fundraising campaign will benefit the ALS Therapy Alliance as well as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, now through June 30. Visit your local CVS today and check it out!

 

Thank you for all that you do to support our mission to find a cure for ALS.

Sincerely,
