Matt’s Place Foundation is a nonprofit established to assist families dealing with ALS.

Matt is a former U.S. Marine and Coeur d’Alene native who was diagnosed with ALS in February 2015. While the financial impact of this disease for Matt was greatly lessened by the medical benefits provided by the VA, he was alarmed to realize the terrible financial toll that it can have on people living with the disease and their families. The proceeds from this evening do not go to Matt. The money raised will help other families in our community dealing with ALS.
