The #4 ALS ONE Massachusetts License Plate!

Own the plate that honors the man for whom the disease was named. Lou Gehrig, #4 on the New York Yankees, gave his farewell speech on July 4th 1939, after having been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) just two weeks prior. From that time on, ALS has also been known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. It has been 80 years since Lou's farewell speech at Yankee Stadium and we are closer to treatments for this devastating disease than ever before. Why has it been 80 years and still no cure? Because we've never had the advancements in imaging and research that we have today.

ALS ONE is proud to have the only license plate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to fund ALS Research and Care.

Here's your chance to own the one and only #4 ALS ONE Massachusetts License Plate!

Bidding will end at 11:59pm on September 22, 2019 (80 days after July 4th - honoring 80 years since Lou Gehrig's farewell speech.

All funds raised will go directly to support ALS ONE's research being conducted by Dr's. Merit Cudkowicz of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Dr. Robert Brown of UMass Medical Center, Dr. Steven Perrin of ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), and Dr. James Berry of MGH. as well as improved CARE for those battling the disease via our partnership with Compassionate Care ALS (CCALS) in Falmouth, MA.
