2015 Sacramento Kings Draft Party At Firestone Public House
The Greater Sacramento Chapter of the ALS Association had their annual signature Summer Soiree with this year's theme "A Night In Havana" on June 19th at Arden Hills Resort. ALS was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn't until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought national and international attention to the disease. Ending the career of one of the most beloved baseball players of all time, the disease is still most closely associated with his name. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.
