Live Like Lou Foundation

Goal: $2,500

The Live Like Lou Foundation's mission is to create and connect communities to stimulate emerging ALS research and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease. We do this in honor of MLB Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig and the 30,000+ individuals in North America living with ALS. Following the fatal diagnosis of ALS in 1939, Lou continued to live his life with courage, determination, and gratitude. This is what it means to live like Lou.

Our work falls into three distinct areas:

  1. Meaningfully supporting families affected by Lou Gehrig's diseaseOur Connect & Serve volunteer program matches ALS families with volunteers for short-term or one-time help in and around the home. More than $500,000 in college scholarship grants have been made through our Iron Horse Scholarship program since 2019. We've funded over 100 grants of up to $2,500 to improve Quality of Life or home renovations for projects that often become necessary following an ALS diagnosis. 
  2. Funding early-career scientists pursuing discoveries in ALS research that may lead to trials, treatments, or a cure for this diseaseThrough our three ALS research grants each year, institutional partnerships, and our biennial ALS Research Symposium, we have funded more than $7.5 million to promising scientists and institutions since 2018.
  3. Through events and partnerships, we honor Lou Gehrig's legacy and raise awareness of ALS. We seek to amplify Lou's story and his life lived with courage, determination, and gratitude. Each summer, we partner with MLB teams for pre-game ALS awareness activities honoring players and local people living with ALS and their families.
