The award ceremony was held on Tuesday, May 12 during The Association's 2009 National Advocacy Day and Public Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., where they also were presented with the Hall of Fame Award.

The Schillings were recognized by The Association for their sustained and dedicated efforts in advocacy, awareness and fundraising, for significantly impacting research and patient care programs provided by The Association to find a cause and cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, and to improve quality of life for people living with the disease, their families and caregivers.
