AFA Members Toni Diamond and Warren Schiffer became founders of the extraordinary benefit, "Wings Over Wall Street," when Toni was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. This year's event is on Thursday, June 6, 2024, in New York City.
Toni and Warren turned their greatest challenge into inspiring work to fight ALS through research funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).In 2004, we lost Toni, our flying partner, to this disease, but her caregiver husband, Warren, continues to work in her memory.
"Wings" brings together the spirit of our work in the skies, the financial contributions of Wall Street, and an event that has celebrity appeal to become a multi-million-dollar benefit. While Wings has accomplished a great deal by raising over $13 million for ALS research, none of this would have been possible without the support of Union Members and the generosity of the business community.
