We’re raising funds to help purchase school supplies for children of a parent with ALS. This summer, we hope to help our PALS and their families with a small financial boost to buy school supplies and clothes for their kids this Fall.
Help us make their back-to-school experience a little easier.
Superb food and drinks. Great entertainment and dancing. Live & Silent Auction with fabulous items.
Changing the quality of life for the ALS Community
The clock is ticking — so don’t miss it!
Each spring, BBF hosts a 5.7K run event to raise funds for its PALS (People Living with ALS) grants program and to honor O.J. Brigance’s jersey number 57. The event features a 5.7K race but for non-racers, it includes a 1.5 Mile Walk, a children’s Fun Run, and if you can’t attend, you can race virtually in your own time and location through a Virtual Run sign-up or create a fundraiser to rally support for our mission to #fightals
The mission of the Brigance Brigade Foundation is to improve the quality of life for PALS and their families by providing access to support services, needed equipment and resource guidance.
We are proud to have produced a powerful series of caregiver stories that highlight the unwavering dedication and challenges faced by those caring for loved ones with ALS. These heartfelt videos bring to life the experiences of real caregivers.
Following his diagnosis of ALS in 2007, former NFL champion and current Baltimore Ravens executive O.J. Brigance and his wife, Chanda created the Brigance Brigade Foundation to equip, encourage, and empower people living with ALS. Fast forward 15 years, the Brigance Brigade has helped hundreds of families and built a tight-knit community throughout the mid-Atlantic region and beyond.
There are many organizations doing incredible work towards finding a cure for ALS. But until a cure is found, we are dedicated to increasing access to caregiving services, equipment, and in-home accessibility for people living with ALS.
Because of generous donors like YOU, we are able to provide financial help to offset some of the staggering costs associated with ALS.
PALS and their caregivers (CALS) are not fighting alone! The Brigance Brigade Foundation is also committed to programming that supports the mental, physical, and emotional health of ALS caregivers.
Your contributions are vital in funding our programs and helping to realize OJ & Chanda Brigance’s vision–to equip, encourage, and empower people living with ALS.
It is the understanding of this need that fuels the Brigance Brigade Foundation.
The Brigance Brigade Foundation directly serves ALS families with access to critical financial grants and equipment not covered by insurance. While we are proud to have helped hundreds of families, it’s never enough. Out-of-pocket costs can be upwards of $200,000 annually and over 31,000 people are currently living with the disease in the U.S.
Each gift you make helps the Brigance Brigade Foundation live our critical mission and provide resources, care, equipment, and more to families in need.
