Major League Baseball celebrates Lou Gehrig Day annually on June 2 to honor Lou Gehrig's legacy and to bring awareness to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).

Join Phi Delta Theta (Lou Gehrig's Fraternity!) and the Live Like Lou Foundation at Truist Park on Sunday, June 2 for the Atlanta Braves' 1:35 p.m. Lou Gehrig Day against the Oakland Athletics.

As a result of Matt Olson being named a finalist for the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, the Live Like Foundation will join Phi Delta Theta on the field before the game to recognize Matt and present a special gift to an ALS family.

A ticket block has been reserved in section 140. Tickets cost $55. This event is open to the public, so please invite your friends and family!

All tickets must be pre-purchased through this site and will not be sold at the gate/event; Live Like Lou sells our tickets at face value. The game ticket(s) will be sent to you online before the event and are accessible in the MLB Ballpark app. Please reach out to Laura with any questions.

About the Live Like Lou Foundation

The Live Like Lou Foundation was established in 2017 as a national nonprofit with a vision to leave ALS better than we found it. Named in honor of MLB Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, a Phi Delta Theta Fraternity member, Live Like Lou supports ALS families, funds emerging researchers seeking meaningful treatments and cures for ALS, and helps generate awareness of Lou Gehrig’s disease. In the face of his ALS diagnosis, Lou Gehrig continued to live his life with courage, determination, and gratitude... this is what we mean when we say, live like Lou.

In Lou’s memory, Phi Delta Theta Fraternity members have served more than 300 ALS families through Live Like Lou. Learn more about the Live Like Lou Foundation on our website at livelikelou.org.
