Mark Hudspeth

Development Director

As Development Director for the Live Like Lou Foundation, he supports strategic fundraising initiatives to expand the organization's reach and impact. In his role, Mark supports signature fundraising events, engages Phi Delta Theta chapters and members, and plays an integral role in growing Live Like Lou's donor relationships.

What Mark Brings to the Team ⚾️
Mark brings a fundraiser's instincts and a donor's heart. As development director, he builds the relationships and programs that turn one-time supporters into lifelong advocates for the ALS community. Whether he's developing new giving programs, building corporate partnerships, or picking up the phone to thank a monthly donor, his job is making sure Live Like Lou has the resources to keep swinging.

Why Mark Plays for Live Like Lou 💙
Mark's mother-in-law Susie was taken from his family by ALS.  Mark and his wife founded Susie's All-In Against ALS in her memory, and Mark has been in the fight ever since. Joining Live Like Lou as Development Director was the next step in that same mission: to make sure the 30,000 Americans living with ALS right now have more options, more support, and more time than Susie did.

Off the Field 🏟️  
Outside of work, he stays active in his community as a performing musician. He plays guitar and sings in The Flannel Pajamas, a 90s cover band based in the Dallas area, and also performs solo acoustic shows. He co-manages Susie's All-In Against ALS alongside his role at Live Like Lou. Mark lives in Richardson, Texas with his wife and their two doodles, Cowboy and Calah.
