In my first note to you, I shared how humbled I am to lead this Foundation and how committed we remain to the path Tommy set for us. Part of honoring that legacy is ensuring we are doing everything in our power to provide tangible relief to those who need it most. I am pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2026, our grant applications are officially open again.
We know that for families across North Carolina, an ALS diagnosis brings not just emotional weight, but significant practical and financial challenges. Our grant program is designed to help alleviate some of those burdens, providing support so patients and their families can focus on what matters most: spending time together and maintaining quality of life.
If you or a loved one are navigating life with ALS, I encourage you to visit our website to review the updated grant information and submission guidelines. Our team is ready to review applications and continue the vital work of connecting North Carolinians with the resources they need.
Thank you for your continued patience, your support, and your dedication to this community. We are honored to stand with you.
Winning isn’t everything. But wanting to is. –Jim “Catfish” Hunter
