The boys varsity lacrosse team will head to Tampa, Fla. during spring break for the chance to play high competition teams. But with an estimated cost of $40,000, the team is getting a head start on fundraising.
“We have a big challenge ahead of us because we have a lot to raise, but I think our guys are really embracing the opportunity to do something [and] have a lot of fun over spring break,” varsity lacrosse head coach David Bennett said.
The team will be holding multiple fundraisers, including a Dining for Dollars event at Social Burger and a cheesecake sale during the holiday season.
For varsity lacrosse player and senior Erik Sahlgren, the prospect of heading south with the team provides the chance for a stronger team, mentally and athletically.
“It’s going to be a great opportunity to bond as a team, as well as learn a thing or two from playing teams of different regions who approach the game,” Sahlgren said.
