On March 14, 2026, we invite you to be part of the 19th Annual MDA Night of Hope, an evening dedicated to honoring lives touched by ALS and advancing the fight for a cure. The Night of Hope was started in 2006 by Holly and Palmer Proctor in tribute to Holly’s father, Steve Ennis. Since its inception, this event has raised more than $13 million to fund research, care, and advocacy for the ALS community. Though Steve’s courageous battle ended in 2012, his legacy continues to inspire every step forward.

For 75 years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) has supported the ALS community, investing in research that matters, providing access to resources and care that strengthen, and championing public policy that brings change. Proceeds from the Night of Hope Gala directly fuel these efforts, including vital support for Emory ALS Center—a beacon of hope for families across Georgia and beyond.

Your support can go even further. Through the Night of Hope Challenge, you can rally your network, raise funds leading up to the gala, and make a direct impact on the lives of those affected by ALS.

Join the challenge, share your story, and be part of the hope that drives us closer to a future without ALS.
