Gather for an evening of progress at the Art & Soul. The event will be a fun-filled evening where you will enjoy art displays, dinner, a silent auction, and music, while networking with your community and friends. This event is dedicated to finding a cure for Friedreich’s ataxia.
Hope for a longer, more independent life is now becoming a reality for families living with muscular dystrophy and related diseases. The Muscular
Dystrophy Association (MDA) pipeline of promise – more life-empowering treatments and cures – is growing and creating ever more hope for the millions of children and adults and their families who are at the heart of MDA’s mission and vision.
Muscular Dystrophy Association is the #1 voluntary health organization in the United States for people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and over 300 other neuromuscular conditions. For over 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 Art & Soul Gala.
"Art & Soul is a powerful reminder of what is possible when a community comes together with purpose. As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of this incredible event, we are deeply grateful for the donors, partners, and supporters whose generosity continues to drive critical research and services for individuals and families living with Friedreich’s ataxia." - Tom Henry, Chief Data and Information Officer at Schnuck Markets, Inc.
