Hello all,
I am a member of the Lou Gehrig Fan Club that has organized on Facebook. We have arranged an event on June 17th, 2023 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of his Major League Debut in 1923. (We know the actual debut was the 15th, but Sat worked better for the event. LOL).
it is being held in the Bullpen theater at the Baseball Hall of Fame. We hope it will be the first of many. There will be three guest speakers, presentations from the Hall including the famous bracelet Lou presented to his wife made up of pins from various awards and World Series he was in. A few members will also be bringing some of their collection to share for the viewing pleasure of the guests. There will door prizes and a raffle of a Gehrig themed painted baseball.(Tickets for that will be available soon. Winner to be announced at the event. Hopefully photos of the finished ball will be available by early May)
Each ticket price includes a donation to ALS Cure project and a discounted 1 yr membership to the HOF and a special Gehrig themed membership card.
Space is limited as we wanted to start small and go from there. At the time of this post 34 seats remain.
All profits from this event will be donated to ALS Cure. We put in a donation into the ticket price to guarantee a minimum donation. If you wish to donate without attending that is available as well.
Please message me with any questions.
This is the link to the tickets with more information.

Thank you to Leon for allowing me to post this. I hope to see some of you there.
Best,
Mark
FYI: This is a ball I had commissioned and is NFS or trade. The one being raffled is by the same artist, but will have a different design.
