The American Liver Foundation is hosting our annual Flavors of San Francisco - An Evening with the Masters with Master Chef Martin Yan on Wednesday, November 13th at the H. & L. Peninsula Restaurant in South San Francisco, to raise awareness for healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. 1/3 (33%) of the US population has NAFLD, Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, and 5% of the US population has NASH, Non-Alcoholic SteatoHepatitis. It is the most severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and is characterized by the presence of an abnormal accumulation of fat in the liver which in some individuals can progress to liver cell injury and inflammation. As NASH evolves, over time it can result in excessive scarring in the liver (fibrosis), a natural response to injury which can lead to liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! To make this event a success and exciting, we need ten (10) volunteers to help us with:
- Registration
- SIlent Auction
- Set-up
- Take-down
- Greeters

Mission Statement
ALF’s mission is to promote education, advocacy, support services and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease.
Description
lthough liver disease is among the ten major causes of death in the United States, there was no national voluntary health agency devoted exclusively to combating liver diseases until 1976, when the American Liver Foundation was formed.
The American Liver Foundation was created in 1976 by the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD). This organization of scientists and healthcare professionals was concerned with the rising incidence of liver disease and the lack of awareness among both the general public and the medical community. The mission, the programs and the services provided by American Liver Foundation complement the great work of AASLD.
No other voluntary organization in the nation provides a voice for the 30 million Americans with liver disease. Read about how this was accomplished in our timeline 40 Years in the Making created on our anniversary in 2016.American Liver Foundation makes a measurable difference in the fight against liver disease by providing financial support for medical research, education for medical professionals, and advocacy and information for patients and their families, and by creating public awareness campaigns about liver wellness and disease prevention.
