A Legacy of Hope,
A Mission of Support.
HARK provides assistance to alleviate the financial burdens faced by families battling ALS.
What Is Hark?
HARK is an active ALS charity organization that was founded by Donna Dourney York in memory of her father, Charles W. Dourney, a lifelong athlete, coach, and father of seven, who courageously battled ALS until his death in November 2009, and who was affectionately known as “Hark” by his wife Ann.
How We Help
HARK provides assistance to alleviate the financial burdens faced by families battling ALS. We offer support in many ways including:
- Purchased and donated a handicap accessible van to a pALS
- Purchasing equipment not covered by insurance
- Paying travel expenses for pALS to visit family or attend an important family event they would not otherwise be able to afford
- Visit communities across the country sharing Hope on the Horizon increasing awareness of ALS and benefitting a local ALS family
- Provide financial assistance for household expenses
- Assisting families with children during the holidays
- Provide assistance with home modifications
Our mission
Hark is on a mission to share the real story of ALS and to provide a network of compassionate resources for families.
Our Vision
Change the way the world views ALS. Create a courageous legacy of support for families.
