The Mama's Boyz sixth grade lacrosse team scores big for charity ? raising nearly $4,000 while capturing five wins, two losses and one tie in their first season together and taking first place in their division at a recent Long Island tournament.
North Shore Neighbors Breast Cancer Coalition and members of the community will celebrate Mama?s Boyz LAX?s victory at their year-end party on Wednesday, June 26, 2013 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2913 located on Edwards Street in Patchogue.
Mama?s Boyz LAX was formed by Lynn Sommer for 5th & 6th Grade boys in the summer of 2012. This team is much different than any other team. Players didn?t have to try out for this team nor did they have to pay. The only thing they had to do was partake in community service. Sommer received start up assistance from local businesses and partnered up with great coaches Vito DeMola, John Amato and Quentin Sommer. During the season, the boys learned more than just dodging and rolling, poking and scoring. They learned how rewarding it is to help others. And that they did. Players participated in fundraisers and provide simple acts of kindness by helping their neighbors.
Patti Kozlowski of North Shore Neighbors Breast Cancer Coalition said, ?Lynn Sommer contacted me last year in regards to raising funds for our coalition. She asked what our fundraising minimum was and I told her that we didn?t have a minimum. Lynn shared her vision for the team and it certainly sounded like a great idea to me.? Mama?s Boyz players and their families have so much to be proud of ? a lesson in philanthropy and a winning season.
Please join North Shore Neighbors Breast Cancer Coalition and members of the community in congratulating Lynn Sommer, the boys, their families and their coaching staff. To confirm your attendance for more information, please contact Patti Kozlowski of North Shore Neighbors at 631-830-5274 or?Lynn Sommer at (516) 807-1516.
