Matt Creen, a person living with ALS and one of the most dedicated members of our Les Turner ALS family, will receive the Hope Through Caring Award. Matt and his selfless and committed family and friends have held the annual Matt Creen Golf Invitational for the past six years, raising over $450,000 to help other families living with ALS.
