PROGRAM COST
The Lacrosse program is completely dependent on parents and guardians in the three key areas of financing, volunteering and being a fan. Without this support the program cannot run.
We appreciate and acknowledge that every family's situation is different. For some families, time and financing are easy to give. For other families, time or money might be more of a challenge and we understand that too. We look for each family to help the best they can, where and when they can, and we trust that we will have more than enough time and money to do what is needed to give the players the best HS experience.

MATCHING FUNDS & MATCHING TIME
Many companies will provide matching funds for financial donations employees make to qualified charities. In some cases, companies will also make a financial contribution for each volunteer hour their employees spend on qualified charities. The LW Board is recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization.
Please consider if your donations can be matched by your employer and submit the requests whenever possible.
FUNDRAISING
We appreciate that families have their own views and abilities when it comes to paying for their student athlete's program costs.
If a family is able and wants to write a check upfront for the season costs and not engage in community fundraising, that is fine. For others, the LW Board coordinates several fundraising activities throughout the year to help families defer the program costs. These events include:
- Giving Campaign - Players collect names of extended family, neighbors and friends and email asking for financial contributions to meet the gap.
- Auction procurement -Families procure a minimum of 2 items to be auctioned off at our “Annual Auction/ Social”. The Social is a chance to eat, drink, socialize and bid on fabulous merchandise.
- Annual/ Yearbook Advertisements – Players/ families can solicit advertisement space in the program wide year book.
- Amazon Smiles
SCHOLARSHIPS & SCHOLARSHIP DONATIONS
When possible, the LW Board offers: partial and/or full financial scholarships for student athletes for who are in need. Our goal is to never have finances hinder students who want to play Lacrosse. The board now has a formal process, and financial aid is based on family size and income. The matrix used is standard with that of the Boys and Girls Club and Park and Recreation.
LW Lacrosse gratefully accept donations from individuals and businesses that wish to contribute to funding individual scholarships.
