Lacrosse for Life Head-Shaving Event

Sponsored by The Hope Street Foundation

The Hope Street Foundation is proud to announce that the 2024 Lacrosse for Life Head-Shaving event raised $1,001,365 for the HEADstrong Foundation and their new initiative, Nick’s House Boston. Nick’s House will be provide cost-free lodging and a home environment for patients and families receiving treatment in Boston’s hospitals. Reaching our $1 million goal would not have been possible without the incredible support from the college lacrosse community, with 1,305 players participating across 39 programs.

Since the inaugural event in 2020, we have continued to see the powerful impact the lacrosse community has when we come together for a greater cause. The Lacrosse for Life Head-Shaving event has raised over $4,000,000 across 3 campaigns with over 4800 shavers. The outpouring of participation and support from the community serves as an inspiration and reminds us of the strength and compassion that lies within our community.
