A Classic for a Cause
Georgia Tech’s baseball program is set to compete in the Live Like Lou Jax Classic, a three‑day tournament held in Jacksonville, Florida, from February 26 to 28, 2027. The Yellow Jackets will be joined by Cincinnati, Illinois and Tennessee in a round‑robin format that promises competitive matchups and a showcase of emerging talent.
Peak Events Drives the Charity Event
The tournament is organized by Peak Events, a sports‑production company founded and led by Ryan Holloway. Holloway, a veteran event strategist, says the partnership with the Live Like Lou Foundation aligns with his company’s mission to blend competition with community impact.
A Legacy in the Fight Against ALS
The Live Like Lou Foundation, named for the late New York Yankees star Lou Gehrig, channels the event’s proceeds into research aimed at combating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since its inception, the foundation has funded numerous scientific initiatives, and this tournament adds a new avenue for public engagement and support.
Fans attending the games in Jacksonville will have the opportunity to learn about ALS research breakthroughs and contribute directly to the cause, reinforcing the idea that sport can be a powerful catalyst for change.
