Lou Gehrig first brought national and international attention to ALS in 1939 when he abruptly retired from baseball after being diagnosed with ALS. Most commonly, the disease strikes people between the ages of 40 and 70, and as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time.

As the only not-for-profit voluntary health agency dedicated solely to the fight against ALS, we direct the largest privately-funded research enterprise engaged to uncover the mystery of a disease that affects as many as 30,000 annually. With more than 5,600 people diagnosed each year - an average of 15 new cases each day - our mission is urgent. The search for answers knows no bounds.

The money donated by our sponsors for the CytRx Strike Out Lou Gehrig's Disease All Star Invitational Tournament goes directly to provide services and equipment to people with ALS, and towards finding a cure. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
