It started with a bucket of ice and a mission to make the world pay attention. 🧊

Back in 2014, Pete Frates and Pat Quinn helped turn the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge into a global movement, bringing unprecedented awareness to ALS and the realities faced by patients and their families.

More than a decade later, that impact continues.

Our Executive Director, Mike Pitt, joined Tanner Hockensmith of the ALS Association to look back at how the challenge took off, the community that rallied behind Pete and Pat, and why continuing to raise awareness for ALS matters just as much today.

Pete showed us what can happen when a community comes together around a cause. We’re proud to keep that momentum moving forward. ❤️

We are deeply saddened by the passing of O.J. Brigance, a champion on the field and a powerful advocate for the ALS community.

After being diagnosed with ALS in 2007, O.J. spent nearly two decades using his voice, his platform and his experience to make a difference for others facing this disease. Alongside his wife, Chanda, he founded the Brigance Brigade Foundation, helping provide critical support, resources and equipment to people living with ALS and their families.

O.J. understood firsthand the realities of this disease, and he chose to turn that experience into a life of service to others.

From all of us at the Peter Frates Family Foundation, our hearts are with Chanda, the Brigance family, the Brigance Brigade community and everyone whose life was touched by O.J.

His impact on the ALS community will not be forgotten. ❤️

Rest in peace, O.J Brigance.
