Welcome
Empower Lives Through Fundraising
Join us in supporting ALS awareness and assistance.
Our Mission
Meet our founder, Mitch Shaver was diagnosed with ALS in January, 2018. Mitch battled relentlessly against ALS for 7 years before his death in January, 2025. Mitch was a loving husband and dad to two amazing children. Through Mitch’s battle against ALS, he and his family learned first hand about the difficulties of living with ALS. He not only remained strong and dedicated in his own fight against ALS, but was inspired to help other people battling the disease. Thus, Mitch founded the Mitchell Leland Shaver Foundation in November, 2023.
Living with ALS can bring many challenges. We hope these individuals are able to use the awarded funds to make a difference in their quality of life and ease a small burden.
