Bright
Side Of The Road
Bright
Side of the Road Foundation was founded in 2006 to help find a cure
for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as
Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Barry
Winovich, his family and his friends founded the Bright Side of
the Road Foundation very soon after Barry’s diagnosis. The
Winovich family and the other members of this foundation wanted
to bring together their energy and resources to help find a cure
for this devastating disease.
Driven
by Barry’s love of music and life, the Foundation aims to
raise funds through entertaining events that will be remembered
and enjoyed.
Bright
Side of the Road is made up of many concerned members of the community,
who together have, and are, organizing exciting events to further
our cause. The foundation is incorporated in the State of Ohio and
is organized exclusively for charitable and, more importantly, scientific
purposes as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Our Mission
is to:
Make
grants to support activities and projects relating to the causes,
prevention, treatment and cure for ALS such as specific research,
drug trials and other medical and/or scientific programs identified
as relevant.
Also,
we want to support other organizations whose purpose is to raise
awareness, educate patients, families, caregivers and the general
public about ALS.
