Brown & Hobkirk, PLLC, a Scottsdale-based law firm, has deepened its commitment to the ALS community. Founding attorney and partner Kyle Brown, along with his wife Cheree, attended ALS Arizona's annual "Bite Nite" gala at the Chateau Luxe in Phoenix. The event brought together top local chefs, supporters, and volunteers to raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit organization.
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 34,000 adults in the U.S. are currently living with the disease. ALS Arizona provides essential services to individuals and families facing this challenging condition, including care services, education, resource connections, equipment support, and community programs like Bite Nite.
Mr. Brown's involvement extends beyond the gala. He is helping organize The Alpine Classic Golf Tournament scheduled for December 13, 2026, at Eagle Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale, which will raise funds for ALS Arizona. This initiative has also led to Brown & Hobkirk working directly with the organization. The firm's attorneys have been assisting individuals and families affected by ALS with estate-planning documents, a crucial need for those confronting the disease.
In May, Mr. Brown was invited to present on estate planning as part of ALS Arizona's "ALS 101" educational series, designed for newly diagnosed individuals and their families. His presentation aimed to provide practical guidance on preparing for the future, a topic of great importance for those navigating the complexities of a life-altering diagnosis.
"We recently lost a friend to ALS, and that loss has stayed with us," Mr. Brown said. "As a law firm, we are looking for ways to support ALS Arizona's mission and help families who are facing this disease with courage and strength." His sentiment reflects a broader ethos at Brown & Hobkirk. "Lawyers have a responsibility to support the communities they serve, and organizations like ALS Arizona give us a direct way to make a difference," he added.
