Through relationships formed in the lacrosse world, I have created my first two assist to wonderful groups that are well-known, well-respected, and very well-cherished in our community.
First, the Headstrong Foundation. The Colleluori family is a perfect example of a group that has been so influential to many in exposing how to deal with tragedy by turning it into a positive impact on millions of lives. From a family that I once competed against on opposite sidelines, to a family that I am now connecting with to somehow be a part of something special they have created. |

Second, the National Cued Speech Association. The NCSA is a group that provides benefits to children that are partially, or completely deaf. They base their results on a system created to help communication through language development, literacy tests and signage. Being partially deaf since birth, this group has a special first-hand impact on my life as well. The NCSA is a group that not only helps children benefit through communication tactics, but also provides outlets using athletics. I'm honored to be a part of it. |
