The John W. Walsh Founder’s Circle
The John W. Walsh Founder’s Circle is a tribute to the co-founder of the Alpha-1 Foundation, John W. Walsh, who dedicated his life’s work to finding a cure for Alpha-1. Members of the Founders Circle have named the Alpha-1 Foundation as a primary beneficiary of planned gifts in the amount of $50,000 or more.
In addition to receiving all Legacy Society benefits, Circle members are recognized on a plaque at the A1F offices and receive special invitation to a reception at the biennial Investigators Meeting to hear first-hand reports from top Alpha-1 researchers.
