Last year, Robert Duffy, a pillar in the valuation community, along with friends and colleagues began an effort to help individuals who have ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Bob himself is battling the deadly disease, but his thoughts are with other ALS patients. The goal was to raise $100,000 for the Answer ALS initiative, a nonprofit that helps ALS patients lead more productive and purposeful lives. BVWire is happy to announce that the goal has just been reached. Bob and those involved with this initiative should be extremely proud of this achievement—and so should all of the generous donors.

It’s not over: Although the goal was reached, the efforts to battle ALS must continue. To join Bob and offer your support, you can make an online donation if you click here. If you do not want to make your donation online, you can email Stacey Udell (Gold Gerstein Group LLC) and make offline arrangements. Thank you in advance for your continuing support!
