The Virginia Gentleman Foundation (VGF) works to make local life more accessible for people with disabilities and defeat ALS. VGF not only raises funds, but also builds community assets that increase accessibility in our area such as ramps into buildings or benches near the sidewalk. VGF raises funds to support research and other efforts to defeat ALS! Throughout the year there are fun events hosted by VGF where everyone is welcome- join us soon at one of these upcoming events because you don’t want to miss out on this important work!
