It is with tremendous PRIDE and with humble hearts that we announce the Inaugural ONE PRIDE ~ Lions - Raiders Lacrosse Alumni Charity Game! So much has changed in our world since the last alumni game took place in 2019. But some things never change. WE ARE ONE FAMILY - ONE PRIDE.
We invite ALL FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY to join us for this charity event to honor two of our very own who left this world much too soon. Adam Ward (teacher/lacrosse coach from 2005 - 2018) and Nathan Williams (URHS alumnus Class of 2004 ) both fought hard but eventually lost their battles against cancer in 2020. We dedicate this game to our brothers. A short ceremony dedicating a memorial tree celebrating the life of Coach Adam Ward will take place at 9:30 am, followed by a tribute to both Coach Ward and Nate Williams. Proceeds from the charity game will be directed to the Nathan Williams Scholarship Fund, a scholarship established at Virginia Tech, to support an incoming freshman in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, the college from which Nate graduated in 2008, through the Beyond Boundaries Scholars program. These scholarships are used as a key recruitment tool by the university for underrepresented and high achieving students toward the strategic goal of providing a truly inclusive student body.
LIONS - RAIDERS LACROSSE ALUMNI from way, way back through our most recent Class of 2021 - SIGN UP TO PLAY AND BE A PART OF THIS AMAZING EVENT! Those who played in 2018 and 2019 can attest how much fun these games have been. And this year, we are confident it will be that much more meaningful.
Sean McMahon is in the process of creating teams (Team Ward and Team Williams) which will be posted by June 18 so PLEASE BE SURE TO REGISTER NOW BY COMPLETING FORM BELOW. Advance donation from players is appreciated. We will also gladly accept donations from all who wish to participate and watch this super fun and special program.
