On July 4th, 2009, the 70th Anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s “Luckiest Man” speech, Major League Baseball and its 30 Clubs joined together for the launch of 4♦ALS, a League-wide effort to raise awareness and support for the fight against ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
To continue baseball’s longstanding commitment to ALS awareness, Major League Baseball is renewing the 4♦ALS initiative for the 2010 season. You can be a part of this ongoing initiative by registering now to participate in the Covering All the Bases® Hitting Challenge. Baseball fans and supporters of the fight against ALS can make a pledge for each hit made by their favorite Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball team in games played on July 4th.
Funds raised will support our patient service programs, cutting-edge ALS research, and our advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill. Commemorative thank you gifts are offered to donors based on their level of giving.
