My Iron Phi Story
Welcome to My Personal Iron Phi Page
For the past few years, I have been trying to become an Iron Phi. The goal of Iron Phi is to raise $1000 in addition to completing an athletic event. All the money raised through Iron Phi goes toward funding research on ALS and finding new treatments for the disease. Since ALS was first discovered, it has had a 100% mortality rate, but me and my fraternity hope to change to this through the Iron Phi initiative in honor of brother Lou Gehrig whom the disease commonly associated with.
For my Iron Phi event, I will be attempting to make 34 free throws in a row as an homage to Lou Gehrig's career batting average, .340. I chose this as my event because it is not an easy or quick event to finish. It will be a battle for me to accomplish which will allow me to keep in mind all the individuals and families battling this disease which I am raising money for.
I've set my personal goal at $1000. So I need your help. Any donation even $1 would be greatly appreciated and help me get closer to my goal (donations by US residents are tax-deducitble). You can make a donation on this page by clicking on the "Make a Gift" link below the thermometer. You can also send a check made out to Iron Phi to me at 705 W Hampton Dr., Indianapolis, IN 46208 if you'd rather donate that way.
I hope that you'll share this incredible adventure with me - by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Cooper Truong

How Does My Donation Make a Difference?
Your donation towards an Iron Phi athlete equally supports two very important things: Supporting ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) through research and support of ALS families and leadership development for undergraduate members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
At the end of each year calendar year, the LiveLikeLou Foundation grants dollars raised through Iron Phi to fund its initiatives that support ALS research, scholarships to support the higher education goals of ALS dependents, and summer camp experiences for children who have a parent or grandparent with ALS.
Dollars used for undergraduate leadership development have and continue to help Phi Delta Theta educate more of its undergraduate members as they work to “Become the Greatest Version of Themselves.”
