Team Gleason Foundation Information

Team Gleason, established by former NFL player Steve Gleason in 2011, is committed to empowering individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) to lead purposeful lives. Despite facing his own ALS diagnosis, Steve exemplified resilience and determination, founding Team Gleason to enhance the lives of those impacted by this disease. At Team Gleason, our vision extends beyond survival; we aspire to create a world where individuals living with ALS have the resources and opportunities to thrive, fostering productivity, purpose, and meaning in their lives. Through the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, provision of essential equipment, and delivery of crucial care services, we strive to uplift the ALS community, nurturing a sense of dignity and purpose in every individual we serve. Since its inception, Team Gleason has emerged as a leading non-profit provider of equipment and technology for individuals with ALS nationwide. Our mission is clear: to directly support the ALS community by ensuring access to the tools and resources necessary for navigating life with ALS. Our mission is to improve life for people living with ALS and those who care for them by delivering innovative technology and equipment, as well as providing and empowering an improved life experience. "Until there is a cure, there is Team Gleason." We recognize and address the critical service gap in ALS care by providing essential support to patients and caregivers alike. With over $40 million invested in adventure, technology, equipment, and care services, we remain steadfast in our commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.
