Undergraduate and Graduate Research Grants: Proceeds support neurodegenerative disease research at top Indiana institutions, notably Notre Dame and Purdue. These grants empower students and early-career scholars to pursue breakthrough scientific projects in ALS and related neurological disorders.
For example, students like Margaret Rakonick have worked in laboratories studying neurodegeneration and drug discovery chemistry. Previous grants have also supported clinical research exploring how neurological diseases manifest, aiming to uncover new avenues for treatment.
Thanks to this event and its supporters, Live Like Lou is making real strides: expanding vital research, fostering young scientific talent, and building a community around ALS advocacy, all in Laurie’s name.
Following Laurie's ALS diagnosis in 2021, her family and friends partnered with the Live Like Lou Foundation to create an event that reflected everything she loved—bringing people together, building community, and serving others.
Each year, hundreds of supporters gather for an evening filled with trivia, heavy appetizers, dessert, exciting silent auction packages, and meaningful moments that celebrate Laurie's life while raising funds for ALS research.
In just four years, All in 4 ALS Research Trivia Night has raised more than $400,000 to advance research and inspire hope for families facing ALS.
A Purdue University graduate, Delta Gamma sister, and accomplished attorney, she was known for her kindness, optimism, and unwavering commitment to helping others.
