The event will have much more meaning than lacrosse as it raises funds to providing financial, residential and emotional support to families affected by cancer. Over the last two years, the event has raised over $30,000 dollars.
 
The HEADstrong Foundation is an organization that offers financial, residential, and emotional support to families affected by cancer. Its founder, Nicholas, recognized the scarcity of essential resources for families during their fight. Their team is based in Philadelphia and works relentlessly to provide resources for patients and their families who are receiving specialized cancer care throughout the country.
 
HEADstrong was founded in 2007 by Nick Colleluori, who played lacrosse at Hofstra University. Nick was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a blood cancer affecting the lymphatic system during his freshmen season in 2005. Nick passed away in 2006.
 
To this day, HEADstrong has raised more than 24 million dollars and assisted nearly 23,000 families.
 
HEADstrong has sponsored lacrosse tournaments and games nationally for over 10 years.
