The Men's Lacrosse team of American International College have been through many ups and downs in their programs history. The program needed some sort of change to get the program back on the right page. The athletic department and players believe that answer would be the new coach Tim Robbins. Robbins has coached a phew programs in his past all ranging from division 3 to division one. The record with the team may not show improvement, but the environment and new players coming in show that the program is ready for the change.

The team traveled out to Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York to part take in a breast cancer awareness round robin. Roger Williams and Vassar college were the other two teams partaking in the round robin. The team played hard and was able to see where the improvements are needed. There, Vassar College was selling shirts that had all proceeds going to charity. All three programs were able to raise a total of $3,000.

Fundraising can be difficult for all college programs. Unless boosters or donations come into play, it is hard for programs to get what they need. With that being said, the lacrosse team would love for your help. So if you love Chipotle, come down to Chicopee MA chipotle and come buy a burrito! 50% of the proceeds come back to the program.
Here is a link to the flyer!

Lastly, here is a video of the team!

  1. I find it awesome to see that the team is traveling around and putting in their time to support breast cancer. More teams should focus on giving back to the communities.

    1. I agree. That is something our team is definitely focusing on more and will definitely be doing more charity work and community service in the near future.

  2. That is a good way to fund-raise, as mentioned many teams should use this approach if possible.

    1. Especially when its hard to just ask for donations. Why not make it something people enjoy.
