Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling will join CVS Corp. in presenting a $2 million
check to the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute for Neurodegenerative
Disease on the field of Fenway Park Friday.
The money, raised through a customer donation campaign held by more than 5,400
CVS stores nationwide, will help fight Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS (amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis), an illness that attacks the central nervous system.
The ALS research initiative at Massachusetts General Hospital was established
two years ago with funding from CVS/pharmacy's first customer donation campaign
for ALS, which raised $1.7 million in 2003.
CVS Corp. (NYSE: CVS - News), based in Woonsockett, R.I., reported $30.6 billion
in revenues in 2004.
