Host a HEADstrong Event

The HEADstrong Foundation invites you to join our Team of Champions in the battle against blood cancer by hosting a HEADstrong event at your school during your regular lacrosse season.  We encourage boys and girls, youth and high school teams to partake. 

This program serves as a community service project as participants are involved in raising funds for blood cancer research and awareness about the disease.

Here is how the program works:

1. Collectively select a date for the event
2. Notify the foundation through our website at least 3 weeks prior to the event
   1. School, include Coach’s and Athletic Director’s Contact Information
   2. Date
   3. Location
3. We will send out our event kit which includes (on consignment)
   1. 144 official HEADstrong lime green t-shirts @ $15
   2. 100 official HEADstrong shoe laces @ $10
   3. 50 HEADstrong awareness bands to be distributed
   4. Literature about Nick and the foundation to be distributed
   5. One sign
4. We count on the teams’ publicity the event (posters, morning announcements, local paper, etc.) and selling our merchandise prior to and at the event.  All team members should be involved
5. The team captains should address the audience sharing Nick’s story and informing them about the HEADstrong Foundation
6. Teams are responsible to return any unsold merchandise and the proceeds for the merchandise that was sold.
7. Take pictures and send in to the foundation for posting on our website.

Other ways to generate funds:

• Charge an admission fee for this event only
• Have the parents donate concessions to be sold during the game
• Pass a bucket asking for donations
• Have the team come up with ideas and take a vote with majority rules
• 50/50
• Dance

Thank you so much for keeping Nick’s vision alive and for doing your part to help us get a”HEAD” of cancer.
