Tony La Russa leads off the 7th annual Ryan House at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Feb. 17, 2015. The mission of Ryan House, an Arizona 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established in 2004, is to provide respite and palliative care to children with life-threatening conditions and, as needed, end-of-life care. Ryan House is the only facility of its kind in Arizona and only one of two in the country. For more information visit www.RyanHouse.org
