The Diamond Awards & Blackwoods Blizzard Tour

Two different events with two different crowds, but both organized for the same cause: to raise awareness and funds for ALS.

The Diamond Awards is an annual event hosted in downtown Minneapolis by the Baseball Writer's Association of America. Each year, hundreds of Twins fans attend for the chance to mingle with Minnesota Twins players and support them as they receive awards for their outstanding performance from the previous season.

The Blackwoods Blizzard Tour is a three day snowmobiling event in northern Minnesota. Hundreds of riders, including Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and former Minnesota Twin all-stars Kent Hrbek and Terry Steinbach sled through the north woods of Minnesota on a mission to raise money and awareness for ALS.

Both events will appear on FOX Sports North. For the complete TV schedule and to learn more about ALS, visit: http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/pages/north_supports
