Brockport Lady’s Lacrosse fight childhood cancer

Brockport Girls’ Lacrosse, Brockport High School and the Brockport Community come together on Friday, May 5 at the Dan Walwrath Stadium for a full night of lacrosse games and many other activities to raise money to benefit St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

Families, friends and community join for so much more than the sport of lacrosse. The event will raise money to benefit St. Baldrick’s and to beat childhood cancer.  During the event, one lucky Brockport High School student or teacher will be named the “winner” – the one raising the most money will go bald midfield at half time of the Varsity lacrosse game. Starting 10 days prior to the event, peers will vote by donating spare change to see their favorite teacher or student “win.”

Mike LaMonica, a St. Baldrick’s representative and speaker at the event to share the St. Baldrick’s mission, has dedicated at least three years of service to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation – helping kids with cancer throughout all the land. Mr. LaMonica states, “It’s amazing what Brockport Girls’ Lacrosse is putting together. Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers.”

Brockport Girls’ JV and Varsity lacrosse teams will all play at Brockport High School’s Dan Walwrath Stadium. Each team welcomes the Hilton lacrosse teams.
