The Toast to Life Gala is an event dedicated to saving and improving lives. At MDA, we are fighting to free individuals – and the families who love them – from the harmful effects of muscle debilitating diseases so they can live longer and grow stronger.

During the evening, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy delicious food and drinks and bid on silent and live auction items. This special event unites MDA families, friends and corporate sponsors in support of this important cause dedicated to improving the lives of others in their community.

Your support is crucial to help MDA raise the funds and awareness needed to accelerate treatments and cures that will bring strength, independence and life to kids and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases.
