Stephen E. Robb: A Champion on and off the Baseball Field, Raises Record-Breaking Funds for ALS Research

Natick, MA — [10/9/2023] — Stephen E. Robb, President of Robb Enterprises Real Estate in Natick, is celebrating a significant milestone as he participated for the fifth time in the “100 Innings for ALS Research” event, organized by The Angel Fund. This year, Stephen’s remarkable dedication led him to consistently raise the most money as an individual participant for a cause that hits close to home.

The 100 Innings for ALS Research event is a Herculean marathon baseball game that stretches over 30 hours, uniting baseball aficionados, compassionate friends, and passionate supporters in a shared mission to raise funds and awareness for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, research. It is an event where tears are shed, embraces are shared, and the love for the sport and the resilience of the human spirit shine brightly.

For Stephen E. Robb, the fight against ALS has a deeply personal connection. His cousin, Patti Gorgone, exhibited heroic strength in her battle with ALS, which she ultimately succumbed to in 2011. In honor of her memory and as a testament to his unwavering dedication to making a difference in the fight against ALS, Robb has become a steadfast participant in this life-affirming event.

The funds raised during the 100 Innings for ALS Research event support The Angel Fund’s pioneering research initiatives, advancing the quest to discover effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for ALS. Stephen’s exceptional fundraising achievements have consistently set new records, underlining his commitment to the cause.

But the event is about much more than numbers. It is a celebration of life and an opportunity for participants to come together with friends who have shared their journeys through the harrowing challenges of ALS. It’s a platform for stories, support, and a shared determination to create a brighter future for those affected by the disease.

Stephen E. Robb not only demonstrates exceptional dedication to ALS research but is also a prominent figure in the Boston baseball community. Serving on the Board of Directors of the Yawkey Baseball League and being a loyal member of the Brighton Braves baseball team for over a decade, his passion for the sport is unwavering.

“We are on the baseball field for a purpose that transcends the game. We remember our loved ones who fought ALS, and we strive to create a world where others won’t have to endure the same pain,” said Stephen E. Robb. “Raising funds is important, but so is the camaraderie, the shared stories, and the strength we find in each other.”

Stephen’s commitment extends beyond the baseball field. Patti’s daughter, Gorgone’s daughter, achieved Olympic glory as a snowboarder, representing the United States in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin. This remarkable family history showcases the resilience and determination that runs in their blood.

The media and the public are invited to witness this extraordinary display of endurance and unity in the fight against ALS. Event details, including date, time, and location, can be found on The Angel Fund’s website at www.TheAngelFund.org.
