EASTON, Pa.- Lafayette men's lacrosse will be partnering with the HEADstrong Foundation to host a fundraising event on Oct. 5 at Fisher Stadium.

The Maroon and White will welcome LIU, Monmouth and Villanova to Fisher Stadium for three exhibition contests centered around awareness for the HEADstrong Foundation, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those affected by cancer. HEADstrong's purpose as a foundation is to fulfill the vision of the late Nicholas Colleluori, its founder. Nick endured a 14-month battle with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and his final wish was for others to benefit from his journey.

This marks the seventh consecutive year that the men's lacrosse program has partnered with HEADstrong.

"As always, we are honored to host the annual Nick Colleluori Classic here at Lafayette," head coach Patrick Myers said. "This cause continues to mean a lot to the college lacrosse community, the greater Lehigh Valley community and the Lafayette lacrosse program. Our team is passionate about serving and helping others and HEADstrong represents a cause that is near and dear to our hearts.  I want to thank Coach Levine, Coach Fisher and Coach Corrado for linking arms with us as we attack Cancer together."

The HEADstrong Lehigh Valley Lacrosse Club will serve as honorary guests at the event, and there will be a tailgate throughout the day.

Men's lacrosse members also have created individual HEADstrong pages to assist in fundraising efforts.

Admission to the event is $10 and the Lafayette players will be signing autographs at the end of each game. In between games, the team will honor a HEADstrong sponsored family and announce "fat head" award recipients. The award is presented to an athlete who embodies a relentless spirit, determination to overcome adversity and a drive to improve the lives of others.

The complete game schedule will be announced at a later date.
