Who We Are

The Bargetzi ALS Foundation was established in 2023 by family and close friends of Fred Bargetzi, looking to make a tangible difference in the fight against ALS.

The group was initially founded by 7 members who partook in an annual snowmobiling trip with Fred and wanted to find a fitting way to honor his memory. We set out to create fun events that were in line with Fred’s interests throughout his life with the goal to raise money for those who were experiencing the same difficult disease.

For those who did not have the pleasure of knowing Fred, he was not only an innovator and leader in the AV industry but a compassionate and thoughtful friend, father, and mentor.

With this in mind, we embarked on this journey looking to make a true difference in people’s lives just as he had, which is why we partnered with ALS Ride for Life. A non-profit that directly helps families get access to the care (in-home care or facility) and equipment (wheelchairs, vans, and medical equipment) they need to support their loved ones fighting ALS. Our mission is to help raise both awareness and funds for those battling ALS, ensuring that the funds raised go directly to individuals who need it through the National Fred Bargetzi Caregiver Grant.
