Children played lacrosse to raise money for veterans in the 24-hour Shootout for Soldiers tournament.
The seventh annual event wrapped up Friday at the
Field of Dreams in Massapequa.
One of the organizers, Mike Nelson, says it’s important to have child
connecting with veterans and find out what’s going on in their lives and what
they deal with.
“We do this, not just for the fundraising, but to connection youth with
veterans’ issues,” Nelson says. “It connects our local youth lacrosse players
with that and gives them a reason to fundraise.”
The lacrosse players' goal was to raise $200,000 for the event this year.
