ALS Association to honor ‘J.R.’ Pagliarini at Evening of Hope

Posted

The ALS Association Rhode Island Chapter will honor Warwick resident John “J.R.” Pagliarini at the 22nd Annual “Evening of Hope” dinner on Friday, June 22 in the Grand Ballroom at the Crowne Plaza. The event offers an inspirational speaking program, awards, musical entertainment, and both a silent and live auction. The annual goal is to raise $100,000 to support services for ALS patients and their families in Rhode Island.

One of the honors given during the event is the prestigious “Spirit of Lou Gehrig Award” which recognizes an individual or group who has exhibited great compassion and an exceptional commitment to advancing the ALS cause.

Pagliarini will receive this award in recognition of his extraordinary volunteer service and his 15th year anniversary serving as the Board President of the ALS Association Rhode Island Chapter.

Woonsocket resident, Karen Audette will receive the “Courage Award” recognizing a person with ALS who demonstrates faith and courage and serves as a symbol of hope for others affected by ALS.

The RI Chapter provides comprehensive services at “no cost” to ALS patients and families while supporting ALS research to find a treatment and cure. Chapter services include home visits & patient advocacy, respite care, support groups, handicapped transportation, medical equipment and iPad loans, and multidisciplinary medical care at the Chapter sponsored Louise Wilcox ALS Clinic in Providence.
