The award's purpose is to recognize a player's exemplary contributions in "both his community and philanthropy."〔 The bestowal of the award is overseen by the headquarters of the Phi Delta Theta in Oxford, Ohio, and the name of each winner is inscribed onto the Lou Gehrig Award plaque in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It is the only MLB award conferred by a fraternity.〔
Twenty-four winners of the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The inaugural winner was Alvin Dark. Curt Schilling and Shane Victorino, the 1995 and 2008 recipients, respectively, received the award for working with the ALS Association and raising money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the disease which took Gehrig's life and is commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's disease".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.phideltatheta.org/content/view/683/132/ )〕 Mike Timlin won the award in 2007 for his efforts in raising awareness and finding a cure for ALS, which took his mother's life in 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.phideltatheta.org/content/view/676/132/ )〕
Winners of the Lou Gehrig Memorial Award have undertaken a variety of different causes.
