Members of the ��������ϲ����� men's and women's lacrosse teams visited The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital in advance of the 10th Annual Lax-4-Life Fall Invitational. The student athletes spent time with the children and their families, playing games and posing for photos.

“It was eye opening to see how tough these kids have it,” women’s lacrosse player Kasey Rubenstein ‘17 said after visiting the hospital. “At the same time, it was inspiring to see how much courage they have. It made me realize how important the fundraiser we do at Lax-for-Life actually is.”

"Going to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital had a profound impact on me,” said women’s lacrosse player Anna Stowell ‘20. “Being able to interact and play with the kids opened my eyes to the importance of realizing what I personally have and what I may take for granted. Not all kids get to grow up participating in sports like I did, so I think it is important for me and my team to help bring the joy that I find in athletics to kids in alternative ways, because all kids deserve to have fun."

This year’s invitational raised $4,200. Since its inception in 2007, Lax-4-Life has raised more than $25,000 for the world-class children’s hospital at Maine Medical Center.
