π¨π¨π¨ Feel-good story this week in the Daily Herald!! π°
Lake Forest High School senior and lacrosse player, Jack Carrabine, recently secured a record-breaking number of ground balls to raise over $10,000 for the 4 Jack Adams Memorial Fund held at LCCF, honoring the former LFHS student and lacrosse player who originally wore #4 π
The donor advised fund, established by Jack Adam's parents in 2019, is used each year to pool community dollars and then grant them to causes Jack Adams was passionate about β€οΈ The proceeds from the ground ball fundraiser will be donated to the Lake Forest Lacrosse Association Learn 2 Lax 4 Jack program, which introduces kindergarteners and first graders to the game of lacrosse at little to no cost.
"I hope the Adams feel that everything they've done for the community in memory of Jack Adams is being carried on," Jack Carrabine said.
"They started something that is really great for the community here. Now so many new kids can access and enjoy the sport, all because of the help of Jack Adams and the Adams family."
