Augie's Quest today announced its 10 Year Reunion Bash, set to take place on Friday, March 13, 2015, at the JW Marriott, located at 900 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015.
The event is held in conjunction with the 34th Annual IHRSA Tradeshow and Convention.
Proceeds will go towards the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world’s first and largest non-profit biotech focused 100 percent on ALS research, with the goal of finding effective treatments and a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
The event will feature entertainment from Grammy-nominated recording artist, Gavin DeGraw, with a special performance from John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting. The Bash will be hosted by Natalie Morales of NBC’s The Today Show.
The 10 Year Reunion Bash for Augie’s Quest will provide guests with a fun, high school-reunion theme and will highlight the past 10 years of successful fundraising put on by the organization, in hopes of bringing donations to an all-time high to ultimately end the affects of ALS. The event features a silent and live auction with one-of-a-kind packages. The BASH for Augie’s Quest is presented by IHRSA, with sponsors including Technogym, The Atlantic Club, The Bay Club Company, Zumba, Newtown Athletic Club, and 24 Hour Fitness.
The purpose of Augie’s Quest has always been to fund research and drug development aimed at ending ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since 2007, Augie’s Quest has raised more than $44 million in support of finding effective ALS treatments- making it the largest individual fundraising program for ALS. All funds raised by Augie’s Quest benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world’s first and largest nonprofit biotech focused 100 percent on ALS research. Support comes from a huge network of national events and promotions, including the BASH for Augie’s Quest, Tradition of Hope Gala and widely successful campaigns within the very generous fitness industry, such as the Clubs for the Quest, as well as a hugely innovative joint-fundraising initiative called the ClubCorp Charity Classic which benefits Augie’s Quest and other local charities chosen by that networks members directly.
