Meet our founder
We were founded by Dan Doctoroff, former NYC Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Rebuilding under Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Dan lost both his father and uncle to ALS.
As deputy mayor, Dan used his talents to revitalize one of the world’s greatest cities following the 9/11 terror attacks. His collaborative, creative approach helped to drive the development of Hudson Yards, The High Line, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and ultimately transform the city.
Dan’s focus on collaboration also helped inspire a foundation for Target ALS, enabling us to achieve incredible breakthroughs by bringing together the scientific community like never before.Dan’s focus on collaboration also helped inspire a foundation for Target ALS, enabling us to achieve incredible breakthroughs by bringing together the scientific community like never before.Dan’s focus on collaboration also helped inspire a foundation for Target ALS, enabling us to achieve incredible breakthroughs by bringing together the scientific community like never before.
