The Roger M. Daubach Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to the memory of the late Roger M. Daubach, Central Florida banker, businessman, and a resident of Sanford, Florida.

Roger struggled with the disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, for many years before an accurate diagnosis was made in 1997. This non-profit foundation is primarily devoted to establishing the first residential care facility in the State of Florida for respite care of Florida’s ALS patients.

Your local support here in Florida is very important to the success of our mission. There are a variety of ways that you can help: volunteering, donating, fundraising, and attending events hosted by the Foundation. We would very much like to hear from you so browse through our website and drop us an email.
