Why Brian Plays for Live Like Lou 💙
Brian’s connection to ALS dates back to 1982, when he was appointed Phi Delta Theta’s Community Service Director. In that role, he built partnerships with ALS organizations focused on advancing research and supporting individuals and families affected by the disease. That early commitment continues to fuel his dedication to Live Like Lou's mission.
