About:
On Apr. 5, the LIU Post men’s lacrosse team, in conjunction with its 11 a.m. contest versus Dominican,hosted a “Team Connor” fundraiser. The event honored Connor Bradley, on behalf of The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital.
Connor, the son of Sean and Beth Bradley, was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2013, and is currently undergoing treatment at The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital. He continues to make progress, and despite all of the procedures and hard times, Connor continues to smile and laugh.
Parents, Sean and Beth, brother, C.J., and sister, Kalie, will be in attendance at the game, where Connor will serve as LIU Post’s honorary captain for the afternoon.
In lieu of admission, the team and game-day staff will ask for donations at the gate. Monetary offerings are accepted, as well as donations of kid-friendly Band-Aid’s and lollipops. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, in addition to other drawings. A private donor will be donating $100 for every Pioneer goal scored, up to a maximum of $3,000.
Last year, through the generosity and overwhelming support of the LIU Post athletic staff, our team members’ families and friends, a total of $8,200 was raised. All proceeds will directly benefit The Cancer Center for Kids at Winthrop University Hospital.
This year the team has raised about $11,000!
The team will also follow-up with a visit to the Hospital to see kids and deliver the donation!
