SINDERELLA'S BALL

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone was reached at the 11th Annual Sinderella’s Ball event held last December 7th at the iconic Stone Pony in Asbury Park. Through this event, we surpassed a remarkable goal of raising over $1,000,000 for the Joan Dancy & pALS Foundation. All proceeds from the Ball are donated to the Foundation, which provides consistent support and medical equipment to ALS patients.

For the past eleven 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 serves as a testament to your unwavering dedication to the mission of Sinderella’s Ball. Your support enables patients, their families, and caregivers to confront the challenges and burdens of ALS daily. It stands as a significant triumph in our relentless battle against an incurable and relentless disease.

With this incredible success, my family is incredibly grateful for all the past support provided in honor of my wife, Sindy. Unfortunately, Sindy passed away in 2017 after waging a valiant battle for seven long years. In 2014, a small group of close friends, led by longtime family friend Jay Kanofsky, inspired by Sindy’s untiring strength, decided to organize Sinderella’s Ball as a way to give back to the ALS community. I recognize that there are many other ALS patients and families who share my sentiments and are deeply moved by the power of community coming together to combat this insidious disease.

Having surpassed our $1 million goal, we are quickly transitioning into the next phase to maintain our momentum. ALS, a disease without any boundaries, can affect anyone, and Sinderella’s Ball has no limits on our efforts to combat the disease and stand united with patients and their families.

We cordially invite you to join us on our ongoing journey by supporting the 12th Annual Sinderella’s Ball, scheduled for December 6, 2025, at the renowned Stone Pony. The Moroccan Sheepherders band will once again captivate the audience as the headliners, accompanied by the talented Docs of Rock and Strumberry Pie. This year’s event promises to be even more spectacular, featuring raffle baskets, a silent auction, and an exhilarating live auction. And there will be many surprises too!

Please consider attending the Ball this year to lend your support. Your contribution will help us raise awareness and funds for essential services, such as home visits by the Foundation’s nurse and social worker, support groups, medical equipment provision, and financial assistance for the families we serve. These programs significantly enhance the quality of life for ALS patients and their families, providing some respite and enjoyment during incredibly challenging and arduous times.

Thank you for your consideration! We appreciate your ongoing support and are thrilled to continue to bring moments of peace, joy, and dignity to the lives of ALS patients.

Sincerely,
Louis Weiner
