Let’s make a difference together — one pitch, one ticket, one story at a time.
About the Fight ALS for Jess Foundation:
-The Fight ALS for Jess Foundation was founded in honor of local ALS warrior Jessica Story who was diagnosed with ALS at just 30 years old.
-Our mission is to raise awareness, inspire action, and provide support for those battling ALS and their families.
-Funds raised go toward resources for families, and increasing public awareness about this devastating disease.
-We believe that by telling personal stories like Jess’s, we can humanize the disease and spark community-driven change.
About ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis):
-ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
-It leads to the loss of muscle control, leaving individuals eventually unable to walk, speak, eat, or breathe.
-There is currently no cure, and most individuals with ALS live 2 to 5 years after diagnosis.
About the June 3rd Event at the Fredericksburg Nationals:
-We’re partnering with the Fredericksburg Nationals for a special Lou Gehrig Day Game on Tuesday, June 3rd at 6:35 PM.
-This event is part of a nationwide movement to honor Lou Gehrig and all those affected by ALS.
-Proceeds from the night benefit the Fight ALS for Jess Foundation.
-Our goal is to sell at least 100 tickets and fill the stands with supporters wearing blue, the official color of ALS awareness.
