National nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness of ALS, supporting ALS warriors and their families, and raising funds for emerging ALS science focused on finding treatments or a cure. We do this work in honor of our namesake, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, and Luckiest Man, Lou Gehrig, and the more than 16,000 people living with this 100% fatal disease each day across North America.

Our programs include grants targeted to emerging ALS research programs and researchers, Iron Horse Scholarships for dependents of ALS warriors, one-time or short-term projects in/around the home, grants in support of children in ALS families, and so much more.

We are proud partners with Lou Gehrig's fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. For more than half a century, Phi Delts from across the globe have been dedicated to ALS as its philanthropic charity. Their partnership allows us to serve more than 200 ALS families each year through hands-on volunteer work and support of children in ALS families attending Hope Loves Company camps.

Our mission is to create and connect communities to stimulate emerging research and uniquely support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease. In doing so, we know we'll leave ALS better than we found it.
