In the past 17 years, our Annual Valentine Plunge has raised over $4 million dollars to support the Quality of Life of those suffering with ALS!
The Joan Dancy and PALS Foundation was formed in 2005 by Terry Magovern in honor of Joan Dancy, his late fiancé, after she succumbed to ALS. Our mission is to help people in our local communities afflicted with ALS by providing a better quality of life for them and their families.
