AGSF
Awareness month is planned for the month of May to coincide with ALS Awareness
month, Mother’s Day and Laura Somerville Woodall's birthday.
A Giving
Spirit Foundation (AGSF) provides financial assistance to deserving mothers in
the Davidson and greater Charlotte, NC area who are suffering from a
debilitating disease or other unforeseen health challenge. AGSF also supports research organizations
searching for a cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), like Project ALS
and The ALS Association. AGSF is a
501(c)(3) charitable organization.
AGSF was
founded in 2008, soon after Laura Woodall was diagnosed with
ALS. Laura quickly realized that one of the most challenging parts of
living with disease is the toll it can take on the family, mainly due to the
new financial pressures that come with ongoing
health issues. That realization prompted her to take action and ask
friends to form A Giving Spirit Foundation.
Local businesses that will be holding events this year are Carrburitos, The Village Store, Davidson Farmers Market, Raeford's Barber Shop, Ben & Jerry's and Flat Iron Grill. We're in discussions with more businesses and anticipate a full month! The May events calendar will be published as soon as details are finalized.
