Don't miss the 2010 Nor Cal Coaches' Convention!
Saturday January 23, 2010 details here!
Thanks for celebrating OUR BIRTHDAY!
Our party was hosted by UHS Senior Goalie Nick Massa, and raised nearly $3,000! pictures
WE DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY, WE NEED YOUR VOICE! Needs our help!
Every athlete in the city knows the pitfalls (literally!) of
playing sports on City fields. Many fields are gopher-holed,
unlined
and bumpy. As the sport of lacrosse grows, the demand
on fields continues to rise and we're competing with hundreds
of schools, organizations and clubs to use that field space,
even
in
its poor condition.
The goal of the next renovation at Beach Chalet Fields, is to include permanently-lined turf lacrosse fields, viewing areas and lights.
Please visit the City Fields Foundation site and sign the petition to the City for approval of this next phase. We did!

most recently renovated by City Fields Foundation.
Lacrosse for LIFE was invited
to participate in the festivities
and has since enjoyed watching University High School
lacrosse games and holding
our own camp there!
Lacrosse for LIFE
is honored to be selected as one
of the recipients of this fundraiser. Having suffered the loss of our
co-founder,
we know the importance of remembering our loved ones.

SPECIAL THANKS TO DE LA SALLE & ST. IGNATIUS!!
Our good friends at De La Salle and St. Ignatius
raised nearly $6,000 at
the 3rd Annual Fundraiser for
Lacrosse for LIFE
("Holy War") at their annual game. Lots of gently-used gear was also donated, helping us bring lacrosse to more PE classes!
Our friends in the South Bay raised $11,000 to support Lacrosse for LIFE and Native Vision!
More than 200 children collected donations and ran the 5K course
at
the Shutterfly offices in Redwood City,
earning raffle tickets for
great prizes donated by STX and Talon.
Doug Appleton, Firehawks' President, said this, “The Firehawks are thrilled to be able to give back
to the lacrosse community and have fun doing it.
We can’t think of two better or more deserving programs to assist than Lacrosse for LIFE and
Native Vision, which absolutely epitomize the
ideal of honoring the game of lacrosse.”
Lacrosse for LIFE is excited to introduce
our
newest partner!

"Neil Duffy was a great mentor for Chazz and me, both on and
off the
field.
Having
the opportunity to partner with Neil and Lacrosse for LIFE,
to mentor
and
help local youth is awesome.
Everyone needs a mentor!"
Thor, Chazz Woodson, Eric Martin, Cobar and Raymond.
"Having been blessed enough to have Duff as both a coach and
advisor
throughout
high school
(and beyond), I can say with
complete confidence that
his
selfless
passion for both lacrosse and
life reach
far beyond the pages of
his book.
It's only fitting that this opportunity
to
serve a greater good
- Lacrosse for LIFE, and all of the
young people that it serves - has come about."
