Outscoring Lymphoma
Dear HGR community,
We have been asked to help the Syracuse University Club Lacrosse Team in their support of Jason Handler, a teammate recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. The freshman defensive player started intensive in-patient treatment on February 25, 2013, causing him to take the semester off from school and lacrosse.
Jason’s team has started a pledge drive to help aid the Handler family in Jason’s recovery process. The charity is being run in conjunction with Syracuse University and the Headstrong Foundation.
They are asking for pledges to donate money for each goal scored during the team’s 2013 spring season. Donations are tax deductible. Pledge forms and additional information are attached at the link below.
Pledges can be sent to Carter Oakley, Syracuse University Club Lacrosse Captain, through the mail or via email.
Please give what you can.
