SINDERELLA'S BALL

ON OUR WAY TO ANOTHER MILLION WAYS TO SUPPORT ALS PATIENTS!

We are thrilled to announce that the 12th  Annual Sinderella’s Ball, held on Saturday, December 6th , at the iconic Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, was a resounding success. With over 350 guests in attendance, the event raised an impressive $135,000. Additional efforts of the Sinderella's Ball team, through other sources, raised an additional $100,000, bringing the total raised by the Sinderella's Ball team this year to $235,000. We are almost 25% of the way toward our second million dollars!

Since its inception in 2017, Sinderella’s Ball has achieved a remarkable achievement, surpassing $1 million dollars raised in total proceeds. This growing success is a testament to the unrelenting support and dedication of the community. All proceeds from the Ball are dedicated to the Foundation, which provides essential support and medical equipment to ALS patients.

For the past twelve years, the Sinderella Ball’s team has been a beacon of inspiration, raising awareness, and providing substantial financial support to families affected by ALS. This remarkable milestone showcases the dedication of the Sinderella’s Ball team to its mission. Your support empowers patients, their families, and caregivers to face the daily challenges and burdens of ALS. It stands as a significant triumph in our relentless battle against an incurable and relentless
disease.

In recognition of this remarkable fundraising achievement, my family extends its profound gratitude for the support bestowed upon my late wife, Sindy.

Regrettably, Sindy succumbed to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2017 after an arduous seven-year battle. In 2014, a close-knit group of friends, led by our esteemed family friend, Jay Kanofsky, was profoundly moved by Sindy’s indomitable spirit. Inspired by this, they resolved to organize Sinderella’s Ball as a gesture of appreciation to the ALS community. There are numerous other ALS patients and families who share my sentiments and are deeply thankful by the collective power of our community in confronting this insidious disease.

We have successfully surpassed our initial $1 million goal and are now swiftly transitioning into the next phase of raising another $1 million to sustain our momentum. ALS, a disease that knows no geographical or demographic boundaries, can affect people from all walks of life. Sinderella’s Ball remains committed to helping patients tackle this disease and fostering unity among
patients and their families.

Mark your calendars!

We cordially invite you to join us next year on December 5, 2026, on our ongoing journey by supporting the 13th Annual Sinderella’s Ball at the Stone Pony. This event like all the others promises to be even more spectacular, featuring a memorable evening of rock and roll by top notch bands. And, as always, there will be many surprises too!

At any time of the year, we kindly request your support. Your contributions enable us to raise awareness and secure funds for vital services, including home visits by our Foundation’s nurse and social worker, support groups, medical equipment procurement, and financial assistance. These programs profoundly enhance the quality of life for ALS patients and their families, offering moments of relief and enjoyment amidst the immense challenges and hardships they face.

We sincerely appreciate your thoughtful consideration and extend our heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support. We are honored to continue providing moments of peace, joy, and dignity to the lives of ALS patients.

Sincerely,
Louis Weiner
