NASHVILLE (November 10, 2026) – REV Entertainment today announced the Live Like Lou Foundation as the presenting
partner of its College Baseball Series tournaments in Surprise, Arizona and Nashville, Tennessee.
Through the partnership, REV and the Live Like Lou Foundation will utilize 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 and national awareness initiatives, with a
vision to leave ALS better than we found it.
“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,” said Wendy Faust, Executive
Director of the Live Like Lou Foundation.
Vanderbilt will 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,” said 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.
In addition, 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 meaningful gift to an ALS family in the Surprise and Nashville communities.
