Team Gleason

Team Gleason No White Flags! Steve played for The New Orleans Saints from 2000-2008.

Team Gleason is committed to improving the lives of people living with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by delivering innovative technology and equipment, as well as providing and empowering improved life experience. Steve Gleason will always be remembered for his blocked punt on the night the New Orleans Superdome reopened for the first time after Hurricane Katrina. In 2011, Steve was diagnose

Steve is determined to inspire others by continuing to pursue life adventures despite his diagnosis, and has challenged the worlds of technology and science to identify their most promising developments toward new treatments and a cure. Steve and his friends and family started Team Gleason to generate public awareness for ALS, raise funding to empower those with ALS to live a rewarding life, and ultimately find a cure.

Later, after their passing, Leah joined Team Gleason where she now passionately serves other people and their families as they navigate ALS.

😮 Did you know we can see the Rebirth statue right from our office conference room?

Quick history lesson ➡️ The statue, commissioned by the , features our founder ’s iconic blocked punt - a moment from 2006 that sparked a rebirth in the city of New Orleans during the first game in the Superdome post Katrina. Beyond New Orleans, Steve’s blocked punt is a symbol Team Gleason carries with us in our work across the country. It’s the definition of No White Flags - a determined mantra that keeps us going, guiding our mission to empower those living with ALS.

Happy birthday, Michael! 🎉

One of our favorite traditions is celebrating Michael’s birthday with PB&J sandwiches at the office. Since this year falls on a Sunday, it feels like the perfect reason to keep the tradition going at home too. What better way to start a Sunday than with a PB&J in his honor? 🥪

As Technology and Equipment Team Manager, Michael leads with patience and clarity, guiding the tech team as they grow their skills and support our community in meaningful ways. We are truly grateful for his leadership, his advocacy for people living with ALS, and the positivity he brings into every space he is part of.

Happy birthday, Michael! 🎂
