Annual Phillies Phestival set for Thursday

On Thursday, the Phillies will host their annual Phillies Phestival at Citizens Bank Park to raise money for ALS through auctions, autographs and various activities around the ballpark.

The event begins at 4 p.m. ET, rain or shine.

Since adopting the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of The ALS Association as their primary charity in 1984, the Phillies have raised more than $17 million for research and patient services. Last year's event raised over $700,000.

"The Phillies family remains committed to doing whatever we can to put an end to this terrible disease," Phillies chairman David Montgomery said last year.
