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 member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, 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. 

About Team Hilliard Foundation 

Team Hillard Foundation was born out of 4 years of telling our story and raising awareness about ALS. Currently there is still no cure but the research field is now ripe with potential new drugs and treatments, but it is often difficult and costly for people facing ALS to be enrolled in clinical trials. As a family who knows firsthand how devastating it is to live with ALS and how difficult it is to manage care, we decided we wanted to continue our work, but open the field for where our fundraising dollars can go. Each year we will choose a treatment or research entity devoted to finding a cure, an organization that is helping families facing ALS, or a local family in need. Team Hilliard’s mission is raising awareness about ALS and supporting research, treatments, and families facing Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
