Make Your Gift to the Packard Center Go Even FurtherWilliam H. Adams Foundation to match all on-line donations between now and the end of 2010 This December, a gift to the Packard Center carries much more to support ALS research. To celebrate the Center’s ten years of bringing progress and hope to ALS science, the William H. Adams Foundation recently announced that it would match all on-line gifts between now and the end of the year up to $250,000. “If we are to continue to succeed, we must accelerate our commitment to Jeff (Rothstein) and his team,” says Ken Hagen, Adams Foundation director. The William H. Adams Foundation for ALS Research was founded in 2008 by Bill Adams, a prominent San Francisco-based financial executive and community leader who had been recently diagnosed with the disease. Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed over $1 million to fund cutting-edge research under the Center Director Jeffrey Rothstein. Mr. Adams died of the disease earlier this year, and his Foundation continues to support ongoing research in the effort to find a cure for ALS. “We are very grateful to our friends at the William H. Adams Foundation, both for their generous direct support of the Packard Center and for the matching gift to our year-end on-line giving campaign,” noted Martina Grunwald, the Center’s Director of Development.
