Throughout July and the 2014 baseball season, The ALS Association Golden West Chapter is participating in and partnering with baseball teams to raise awareness and support for the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease.

This July 27, the San Francisco Giants will host a special night to honor the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's farewell to the New York Yankees and his fans.  There will be a special on-field presentation with people with ALS and their families. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions, give our information about the Golden West Chapter, National ALS registry, and to promote our and to promote our East Bay Walk to Defeat ALS, South Bay Walk to Defeat ALS, and the Napa Valley Ride to Defeat ALS. The national "Strike Out Lou Gehrig's Disease" campaign is focused on promoting the ALS registry and spreading awareness about the increased risk to our military veterans.

We have a limited number of tickets for people with ALS and a companion.  Additional tickets for family and friends are available for purchase. For questions, please contact media@alsagoldenwest.org if you are interested in attending!

Our thanks to the San Francisco Giants and to the San Francisco community for the efforts to make this such a special day!
