(Philadelphia, Penn., September 9, 2024) – The HEADstrong Foundation is pleased to announce that the Fall Event Series will return for a 17th year with 15 events this September, October and November.  

 

“We are so incredibly excited for the Fall Event Series this year, especially in so many new locations,” HEADstrong President, and Nick’s mom, Cheryl Colleluori said. “There is no better way for us to honor Nick’s life and legacy than on the lacrosse field that he loved so much.”

The next weekend the UMass women’s lacrosse will host Dartmouth, Vermont, Bryant, Sacred Heart and Holy Cross on October 5th. That same weekend, the event returns to where it all began with two Nick Colleluori Classics at Hofstra University on October 5th and 6th.

Entry to each event is $10 per person and will go directly to HEADstrong’s mission of assisting families affected by cancer. Teams participating at each location will also be fundraising, with their efforts going directly to local families that HEADstrong is assisting. Those funds will be presented to a family at each location at a special presentation in between games by members of the Colleluori family and HEADstrong representatives.
