The Spencerport Rangers Girls and Boys lacrosse programs held the 7th Annual Spencerport LaxFest on Saturday, May 7. The program worked with the “More Than a Game Foundation,” where each team raised pledges in the name of Alex Turnquist. Alex was a Spencerport student-athlete that lost his battle with cancer in February 2015.
The “LaxFest” event included all Spencerport Youth Lacrosse teams playing a game on the campus as well as being introduced at halftime during the Varsity game. This year the lacrosse program donated $4,140 to the Golisano Children’s Hospital through the event.
Tim Britton, Spencerport Boys’ Varsity Lacrosse Coach said, “The Spencerport LaxFest is a day that brings together all Spencerport lacrosse teams, boys and girls, kindergarten through 12th grade. Our entire lacrosse community sprawls the district campus to celebrate our love for the game, raise money and bring awareness to the fight against cancer. It has been a huge success for everyone involved in planning and coordinating a great day of fundraising and lacrosse. We’re very proud to support the Golisano Children’s Hospital and the More Than a Game Foundation.”
Patricia Condon, Spencerport Girls’ Varsity Lacrosse coach mentioned, “The best thing about LaxFest is the positive playing environment that is created by the teams and the community. The event allows players youth through varsity to enjoy the game of lacrosse played at all levels and support the continued growth of the sport. Playing the day for Alex made it even more special.”
