For our 2023 season, we are excited to partner with Ukraine Lacrosse and help with fulfilling any needs that they have during this hard time for them. Please see the video below from Vova Demedyuk, the individual who started lacrosse in the Ukraine and is working hard at growth of the game in the country! If you would like to contribute, you can donate using "Zelle" -- see information on how to donate below the video. You can also buy a t-shirt for the event. Information on buying a t-shirt is below the video as well.
IN SUMMARY... Vova's vision for Ukraine Lacrosse is to build up to 22 teams in the country! To help with this, it is our goal to help provide girls sticks and goggles. In his words, one stick and one pair of goggles can help one more girl play lacrosse in the Ukraine and get better. His intention in starting lacrosse in the Ukraine is to provide a fun and safe place for kids to meet of all ages.
Currently, there are 2 girls teams and 5 boys teams in 3 different cities. Unfortunately, the war destroyed 5 of their teams. Let's do our part to help rebuild and grow his girls lacrosse teams and players!
THANKS TO THE HELP OF ALL OUR EUREKA LACROSSE FAMILIES + ADDITIONAL STL LACROSSE PROGRAMS, WE WERE ABLE TO DONATE 35 STICKS TO UKRAINE LACROSSE!
In the video to the right, the Ukranian Lacrosse girls are saying, "Дякую", or "Thank You!"
We are so excited to help introduce so many new girls in the Ukraine to the amazing sport of lacrosse and give them joy during this hard time for their country!
