Oakland Lacrosse Club

Disturbed by events that were brought to light in 2020, we asked, what can we do to make a difference?

We both joined  lacrosse teams when we were 5 years old and have had the privilege to play for the last 10 years.  Introducing  kids at an early age to any sport grows enthusiasm, excitement and hopefully a lifelong love and passion for it.  Lacrosse is gaining momentum on the West Coast but isn't as prevalent as many other sports. As a result, there are fewer teams, most are year-round programs,  the experience can be expensive and results in not retaining a diverse range of kids.  We want to change that.

We  have teamed with Sling It Lacrosse with a goal of raising $5600 to purchase  50 helmets, enough for two teams at Oakland Lacrosse!  We want to present them with this gift at the end of August. But helmets are only a start.  They need matching uniforms, other gear and of course there are fees to play in tournaments .

In addition to these generous donations,  we will be offering lacrosse after-school clinics this fall for kids under 11 years old. We will donate 20% of our proceeds to Oakland Lacrosse.  For more information regarding these clinics, you can [email redacted]

Please help us be the change we wish to see in this world.

About Oakland Lacrosse Club: Oakland Lacrosse implements a holistic model that includes leadership development, college and career exploration, academic support, and wellness education.

The Oakland Lacrosse Club is a non profit that empowers Oakland youth to shape their world by using lacrosse as a medium to provide Leadership Training, Academic Support, and College and Career Exploration. Our program currently serves 110 players in grades 6-8. By 2020, we would like our program to be in every Oakland middle school and serving 200 players. 

The Marin Catholic lacrosse programs are dedicating April 2018 games to OLC culminating with their final MCAL games on April 24th and 26th.
 We are hoping to raise $1,500 which funds one player's participation in the program for a year. This includes all lacrosse equipment, 150 hours of lacrosse instruction, monthly trips to local colleges and businesses and targeted academic support so all of our players can achieve a 3.0 or higher. Donations can be made at the event or on this Gofundme site:

The sport of lacrosse has done so much to enrich the lives for the players at Marin Catholic. Organizing this night for the Oakland Lacrosse Club is just a small way that we can give back. We are asking each member of the Marin Catholic Lacrosse Community to donate $25.
