ALS/Lou Gehrig's Night

     

ALS/Lou Gehrig's Night
Friday, June 22

On July 4, 1939, Lou Gehrig gave his final farewell to his fans and teammates at Yankee Stadium. On June 2, 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse” succumbed to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a disease that would come to be known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”

This summer, on Friday, June 22, the Winnipeg Goldeyes and the ALS Society of Manitoba will host ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Night in memory of this great man, whose name has become synonymous with ALS. Join us at Shaw Park, as we pay tribute to this baseball hero and at the same time raise awareness and help to battle the disease that affects the lives of more than 250 Manitobans and their families.

Watch as we reenact Lou Gehrig’s famous farewell speech, then stay for a fun night of great Goldeyes baseball as our Winnipeg Goldeyes take on the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. The ALS Society of Manitoba will have an information booth set up, where you can meet ALS Manitoba staff and volunteers, as well as “Lou Gehrig” aka Dave Lemoine. Volunteers will be passing batting helmets for your generous donations. We will also have Lou Gehrig #4 replica jerseys for sale.

Come out and join us for ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Night at Shaw Park on Friday, June 22.

Play Ball!!!
