ESPN’s Boog Sciambi Talks about ALS, His Noon-Profit Seeking a Cure, and ALS’s Tie to the MLB

It’s Lou Gehrig Day league wide and our friend Jon “Boog” Sciambi is a board member and advocate for Project Main Street, a non-profit dedicated to providing financial grants directly to families and individuals living with ALS.

Sciambi co-founded the charity alongside close friends after his childhood best friend, Tim Sheehy, was diagnosed with ALS in 2005. Named after Main Street on Roosevelt Island in New York City where they grew up, the organization has raised over $3 million to help lessen the crushing financial burdens of medical care and home modifications.
