Thank you for your help in providing two hard-working young men with an adventure they will remember forever. The purpose of this funding effort is to bring two deserving lacrosse players to California from their home in Burlington, Vermont to play in tournament with southern California-based Ronin Lacrosse Club.

 

Robbie (pronounced Row-bee) and Grady do not have the means to take advantage of this opportunity on their own. The challenges they each overcome in daily life are significant, but we can take care of this one with your help.

 

Robbie Mafuta is an outstanding middie and FOGO (face-off guy) who is currently on the honor roll at his school, despite the disruptions of shifting among several foster homes throughout his high school years. Robbie enjoys the outdoors, but also loves the way that competition and cooperation, what he calls "the upbeat and constant creativity and effort put out by others", makes him a better player.

 

Grady Corkum is also an honor roll student and is involved in many activities in the community.  His favorite is the Big/Little program where he mentors a 4th grader who doesn’t have a male role model in his life.  Athletically he has a no nonsense “no your Job” mentality.  For example, Grady was chosen MVP of his football team, despite not leading his team in any stats. He just "did his job, day in and day out". 

 

We feel the addition of these players would benefit the team as well. Not only are they outstanding players, but bringing them in would give our west coast players a chance to see what east coast players are learning. 

 

Parents of their proposed teammates (Ronin Lacrosse players) will be organizing some transportation and lodging for them, but we still need to pay for airfare and food during their stay. We estimate this will cost approximately $1,000. Any amount you can give will be appreciated. 

 

Thank you!
