My Project
I’m launching a new lacrosse program for an inspiring group of girls from diverse backgrounds, many of whom are new to the sport, new to the country, and navigating life with limited financial resources. These young athletes are eager to learn, grow, and compete—but we’re facing a major hurdle: we don’t have the equipment we need. Lacrosse gear is expensive, and without full sets of sticks, goggles, and protective gear, our team simply can’t take the field. Most of our players are on financial assistance, and purchasing equipment is not an option for them. We urgently need your help to make this program possible. Your support will ensure that every girl on our team can participate fully and safely—without the burden of cost standing in the way. With your generosity, you’re not just providing gear—you’re giving these girls a chance to belong, to play, and to believe in themselves. Thank you for helping us build something meaningful in advance!
