JFB's League
Thank you for helping us strike out ALS! JFB's League is committed to raising money to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure in memory of John F Bianco, Jr. To us, John was a husband, dad and grandpa. To you, he might have been a friend, relative, coworker or a joyful smile and a powerful handshake. A lifelong baseball fan (and a pretty good player, too!), we honor him by starting a league in his name. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Above all, John wanted to see a cure for ALS in his children's lifetime. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS by donating to our cause to STRIKE OUT ALS!
ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
