The El Paso office raises money and awareness for the 300 local families fighting muscle diseases. The MDA El Paso raises money to send children to summer camp, for research to find a cure and treatments, host support groups, and fix medical equipment. There are several programs and events the MDA El Paso hosts throughout the year to raise community awareness and participation where we are actively looking for excited volunteers.
