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

Join the Live Like Lou Foundation, Phi Delta Theta (Lou Gehrig's Fraternity!), and the Permobil Foundation at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday, June 2, for the Kansas City Royals' 1:10 p.m. Lou Gehrig Day against the San Diego Padres. In addition to the game and a group outing, representatives from all three organizations will be on the field prior to the game for a special presentation to an ALS family.

Group Outing
The Blue Moon Taproom, located in right field at Kauffman Stadium, has been reserved for the group outing. The event is open to the public, so please invite your friends and family! Your ticket includes access to the Blue Moon Taproom, food, beverages (alcohol and non-alcoholic), and the ability to watch the game from this section. Gates open at 11:40 a.m.

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.

Pre-Game Presentation:

A special presentation will occur before the game, so we encourage attendees to arrive early. Live Like Lou, Phi Delta Theta, and the Permobil Foundation will be on the field to present a special gift to an ALS family.

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.
