Annual Ed Morse Automotive Golf Tournament Nets Nearly $450,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Association

MDA has dedicated more than $1 billion towards researching muscular dystrophy, ALS, and other neuromuscular diseases.

The 29th Annual Ed Morse Automotive Golf Tournament raised over $431,000 to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s mission of leading the way for accelerating research, advancing care and advocating for the support of families. Since its inception, MDA has invested over $1 billion in research for muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases (NMD).

Thanks to the fundraising efforts, genetic medicine has made tremendous strides, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association has led the way in identifying the first gene associated with a human disease. It is now breaking new ground by developing some of the earliest cures and treatments for genetic diseases in medical history. The 30th Annual Ed Morse Automotive Group MDA Golf Tournament will be held on Friday, May 3, 2024.
