FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Sacred Heart men's lacrosse team have partnered with Lace Up with LAX for the Pioneers' 2020 season opener on Sunday, February 9 at home against annual in-state rival Hartford. This is the first year the team has teamed up with Lace Up with LAX, an organization dedicated to donating shoes to children who are homeless. Fans are asked to bring at least one pair of new children's shoes to the game which will then be donated to "Project Hope of Fairfield."
This lacrosse game involves lacrosse players, coaches, spectators and the community donating and bringing new pairs of shoes for children who are homeless to the game. The mission of this national nonprofit organization is to define the legacy of our players off the field by helping end homelessness one step at a time. Since Lace Up with LAX's inception in 2013, over 2000 pairs of new shoes have been donated to homeless shelters throughout the United States.
The original project began in 2013 with a single school, Pope High School. Since inception, the Lace Up With LAX model has spread to over 100 teams in high schools, colleges, universities and independent lacrosse programs in the United States, Canada and England mostly by word of mouth or through their website: www.laceupwithlax.org.
SHU's Lace Up with LAX event is slated for the Pioneers' 2020 season opener on Sunday, February 9th at 12 PM at home against Hartford.
