Tusculum Men’s Lacrosse Raises Funds, Awareness for Wounded Warrior Project

The Tusculum College men’s lacrosse team has raised over $700 for the Wounded Warrior Project®.

The Pioneers conducted various fundraising activities held in conjunction with the team’s season finale contest against Alderson-Broaddus College on April 24. Tusculum won the game 25-7 to end its inaugural season with a 5-8 overall record.

The Wounded Warrior Project® raises awareness and enlists the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members of the United States Armed Forces.

The TC men’s lacrosse had originally set as goal of raising $500, but ended up surpassing their projected mark by over $200.

“The men were ready to compete against Alderson-Broaddus, and I am so proud of the way we ended a challenging inaugural season. More important than the win on the field, we were able to surpass our fundraising goal for an honorable and humbling cause,” said Tusculum head coach Richard Carrington. “We are so grateful to our troops and veterans, and I am personally thankful for the compassionate and giving people associated with the Tusculum Lacrosse Family. We hope to set our fundraising goal even higher next season, and continue raising awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project®.”
