Shannon Fabrics is proud to support the [ALS community](http://www.alsa.org/about-us/) in fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Our CEO, Arvin Pairavi, accepted the [Ice Bucket Challenge](http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/als-ice-bucket-challenge.html)<http://www.alsa.org/news/archive/als-ice-bucket-challenge.html>while also making a generous contribution to ALS. Arvin Challenges Ethan Tyler from [Lyft](https://www.lyft.com/)<https://www.lyft.com/>and Debra R. and Mario U. from Shannon Fabrics. See the video here: [ALS Challenge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIpCyG02_bI&list=UU7YFKkP9RCzUsLSMJBp4iew)

We also support this community via the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS at [Quilter's Dream Batting](http://www.hopesanddreams.quiltersdreambatting.com/). The Hopes and Dreams challenge raises awareness of ALS-Lou Gehrig's Disease, provides quilts to ALS patients, and raises funds for research for treatment and a cure. We recently donated two finished quilts made from our Cuddle Kits: [Ziggy Crown](http://www.shannonfabrics.com/crown-ziggy-cuddle-kit-p-6188.html) and [The Derby](http://www.shannonfabrics.com/the-derby-fabulous-5-brcuddle-kit-p-6168.html).

Very Best,
