The Lou Gehrig Memorial Award is given annually to a
Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It is the only MLB award conferred by a fraternity.[3]
Twenty-eight winners of the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award are members of the
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The disease took Gehrig's life and is eponymously known as "Lou Gehrig's disease".[7][8] Mike Timlin won the award in 2007 for his efforts in raising awareness and finding a cure for ALS, which took his mother's life in 2002.[9]
Winners of the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award have undertaken a variety of different causes. Many winners, including
Turn 2 Foundation,[15] while Sutcliffe visited disabled children in hospitals[10] and bestowed college scholarships to underprivileged juveniles through his foundation.[16] Other winners devoted their work to aiding individuals who had a specific illness, such as Albert Pujols, whose daughter suffers from Down syndrome, and who devoted the Pujols Family Foundation to helping those with the disorder,[17] and Ryan Zimmerman, who established the ziMS Foundation to raise money for multiple sclerosis, the disease which afflicts his mother.[18][19]
