Lacrosse for underserved children in Dallas

	Our Mission
	To introduce diverse and traditionally underserved populations to lacrosse and to employ this popular sport as a vehicle for teaching character education values and life skills through the competition and social interaction lacrosse provides.

	Our Purpose
	We envision a day when underserved youth in Dallas have equal access to opportunities for success. We assist that process through the team sport of lacrosse, connecting these boys and girls with the larger North Texas lacrosse community. Lacrosse is a sport that teaches values like commitment, teamwork, respect and responsibility. In providing educational, recreational, and character-building support, we enable these kids to incorporate values they've learned playing lacrosse into their lives, creating more possibilities to become successful adults.
