The Team Building Committee has organized an event January 31, 2015 for the JV and Varsity Boys Lacrosse teams. This is a volunteer activity that will help people that have fallen on hard times. It’s a great way for the boys to get together before the start of the season and give to the community.

The boys will be working at the Greater Washington County Food Bank on January 31, 2015 in two shifts: 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Eighty Four, Pa. They will be working in the warehouse boxing food for low income elderly. Last year the players made 518 boxes and filled 17 pallets, the goal this year is to make 600 boxes and fill 20 pallets!!!

The boys need to wear jeans and anything CanonMac, no opened toes shoes . Work will include a bonfire behind the warehouse to burn the cardboard, which the boys will also help with.  This is a great opportunity for the boys to serve their community and it’s also something that can be used on their college applications for community service work.

#LUKESTRONG Night was a success in raising awareness of Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare childhood cancer.  But most importantly to show support for Luke Blanock who has stayed strong in his battle against this disease and to help raise money to go towards his medical costs. We are pleased to announce that a total of $1400 was raised for Luke and his family in monetary donations, concession stand proceeds, t-shirt sales, and 50/50 winnings.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Luke and his family during his ongoing battle with Ewing's Sarcoma.

Parents & Players,

 The team will be hosting a donation drive during their home opener (3/22/14) for their former teammate, Brandon Wehrle, who is currently serving in Camp Leatherneck, Afganistan with the US Marine Corps. The boys will also be sending a signed CM lacrosse t-shirt and a team photograph.

There is also a flyer (see handout link below).  Make sure you share it with your friends and family!!! The high school will also be posting the flyers at the school and adding it to the annoucments on the TV's for this week.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your support with this cause!

Regards, Coach Schleifsten & Coach Niemeyer
