Sponsorships About MDA

On October 16th, 2026, we invite you to be part of the Chicago Toast to Life Gala, an evening dedicated to honoring lives touched by muscular dystrophy diseases and advancing the fight for a cure.

Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) is the #1 voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and over 300 other neuromuscular conditions. For 75 years, MDA has led the way in accelerating research, advancing care, and advocating support and inclusion of families living with neuromuscular disease. MDA's mission is to empower the people we serve to live longer, more independent lives. It’s your commitment, involvement, and support that are the driving forces that move us forward, and we can’t wait to celebrate at the Chicago Toast to Life Gala.

Give Hope

Donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Your support advances ALS research, provides care for families, and brings hope to those affected—every gift moves us closer to a cure.
