Their involvement went beyond mere celebrity endorsement; it was a personal and heartfelt commitment to the cause. The film captures their influence, which galvanized an entire community behind ALS research.[2]

This film served not just as an emotional recapitulation of two decades of this iconic event but also as another platform to raise awareness and funds for ALS research through The Angel Fund.[3]
