Crestron’s strength as a leader in technological innovation for nearly 50 years depends upon the hard work, devotion and creativity of the Crestron Family.  We are very proud of the leadership our Chief Technology Officer, Fred Bargetzi, has brought to Crestron, and to the industry as a whole, for the past 30 years.

Fred is currently fighting a brave battle against ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and the Crestron Family wants to show its support and appreciation by raising funds in support of research and treatment for ALS. 

All funds raised in connection with this virtual walk will benefit ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), the world's foremost drug discovery lab focused solely on ALS. There is currently no cure for ALS and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ALS research and funding is being severely impacted.  We can make a difference by supporting the research and treatment efforts of ALS TDI.

Invite friends and family to support your fundraising efforts.  Use social media to help promote your fundraising efforts.  Make sure to tag #CrestronCares too! If you can’t participate on the day of the walk, you can still get involved by supporting another Crestron employee and donating to the cause.

DETAILS:

We invite you to walk in small teams of friends and family while other Crestron employees do the same.  There will be a Zoom link that we can join so we can all walk “together” virtually.    Go whatever distance you can but just have fun!  You can choose your walk route, or method for walking, even on a treadmill.  Make sure to obey all local traffic rules and walk safely.  And don’t forget to start fundraising for the cause.

MATCHING PROGRAM:

CRESTRON has established a company matching program to support employee fundraising efforts and increase the positive fundraising impact of the event.

ABOUT ALS THERAPY DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE:

ALS TDI is a not for profit Cambridge, Massachusetts based lab, led by drug development experts and people with ALS.  Its mission is to discover and develop effective treatments for ALS.  Because of the incredible support they have received through fundraising events, like our virtual walk, ALS Institute was the first nonprofit biotech to develop a potential ALS treatment and bring it to clinical trial.  Let’s keep it going!
