Target ALS Rebecca Luker Courage Award 2021

History and Purpose

The Rebecca Luker Courage Award was established in 2021 to honor the contributions of individuals making a difference in the fight against ALS. It was named for Broadway legend Rebecca Luker, who passed away due to ALS in December of 2020. This award has no monetary value, so no consideration of any variety will be provided to the recipients.

Selection Committee

Target ALS will choose a selection committee based on one’s availability to volunteer their time, knowledge, and impartiality to the evaluation and decision process. This committee will evaluate and recommend to Target ALS the recipients using a 10-point scoring system. Target ALS has the final discretion to decide who the winners will be. Members of the selection committee are ineligible for the awards and cannot submit nominations.
