The Live Like Lou Foundation is the presenting partner of its College Baseball Series tournaments in Surprise and Nashville.
REV Entertainment partnered with the Live Like Lou Foundation to use the College Baseball Series to drive awareness and support for families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as ALS.
The foundation, named in honor of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig, supports people living with ALS through funding research, volunteer service, financial grants, scholarships, national awareness initiatives and more.
“Bringing For the Good to Surprise and Nashville as part of the College Baseball Series allows us to reach thousands of fans, support ALS families and fund research toward a cure,” stated Live Like Lou Foundation Executive Director Wendy Faust.
The Surprise College Baseball Series presented by the Live Like Lou Foundation will feature Nebraska, Oregon State, UC Santa Barbara and Vanderbilt and is set for Feb. 19-21, at Surprise Stadium – the spring training home of the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals.
Vanderbilt will also compete in the Nashville College Baseball Series presented by the Live Like Lou Foundation, March 5-7, 2027, at First Horizon Park, alongside Cincinnati, Ohio State and Virginia Tech.
“It’s an honor to partner with the Live Like Lou Foundation for the College Baseball Series in Surprise and Nashville,” noted Nathan Wooldridge, assistant vice president of Business Development for REV Entertainment.
“The foundation’s connection to the game of baseball and its commitment to supporting families affected by ALS make this partnership a natural fit, and we couldn’t be more excited to support its mission at two of the nation’s premier college baseball tournaments in 2027.”
Both tournaments will feature charitable initiatives supporting the Live Like Lou Foundation, with a portion of every ticket sold and additional donations benefiting the foundation’s mission to create and connect communities to support families affected by Lou Gehrig’s disease and stimulate emerging ALS research.
Additionally, one player from each participating team will be nominated by their teammates and coaches to the foundation’s Community Impact Team.
Fans will have the opportunity to vote for the Community Impact Player of the Tournament, with each vote generating a donation to the Live Like Lou Foundation.
The winner will help present a gift to an ALS family in the Surprise and Nashville communities.
