About this Event
Welcome to CORDSA's 2026 Rare Disease Day Gala: Rare Neurodegenerative Spotlight! Join us for an unforgettable semi-formal evening at our biggest annual event dedicated to raising awareness and fostering community support for those affected by rare neurodegenerative disorders.
Enjoy an inspiring guest speaker series, a silent auction, a selection of drinks, and a delicious buffet dinner at the Maple Leaf Room as we bring together patients, loved ones, researchers, clinicians, and community members. This event not only provides a platform for shared experiences and thoughtful conversations but also raises funds through ticket sales and auction proceeds to support the ALS Society of Albera. This organization is dedicated to making each day with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) the best day possible by providing support, facilitating access to care, promoting awareness, advancing research toward a cure, and advocating for meaningful change for individuals and families affected by ALS.
Together, we can make a difference: one conversation, one connection, and one step at a time!
