Harlem Lacrosse

🎉A night to remember! The 2024 Harlem Lacrosse Benefit Gala was our most successful event yet, thanks to an incredible #community of supporters. This unforgettable evening was filled with #philanthropy, connection, and celebration, and was highlighted by remarks from our transformative honoree Tom Rothman, alumnus Elijah Vega, and current high school junior Aziyah Solis. With the unwavering support of our donors, Harlem Lacrosse continues to scale its innovative model, achieving consistent, life-changing outcomes for our students. Check out a recap of the night below!

Harlem Lacrosse is breaking barriers as the industry leader in growing the game, opening doors for inner-city students to push their limits and be part of something bigger. Through opportunities, experiences, and meaningful relationships, Harlem Lacrosse empowers these young athletes to not only play but to embody the spirit of resilience, determination, and camaraderie—the Warrior Sports ethos at its core. At Warrior, we’re honored to be part of the New Balance family and to stand behind such an incredible organization, including sponsoring their biggest fundraising event of the year, the Harlem Lacrosse Gala. The night was a celebration of grit and heart as donations poured in, and guests heard firsthand from Harlem Lacrosse athletes about how the program transformed their lives. Our team left inspired, having connected with the incredible people driving Harlem's mission and hearing about the bold future they’re building. We’re excited to continue our partnership, working alongside Harlem Lacrosse to tell the stories of these relentless student-athletes, whose journeys remind us of the power of lacrosse to overcome obstacles and inspire greatness.

You can't look at this picture and not crack a smile... 😄 Henry Chapman, thanks for always bringing your authentic self to your work at Harlem Lacrosse. I'm not sure if this picture was taken pre- or post-game, but it doesn't matter, you'd see these smiles either way. #HarlemLacrosse #SportsBasedYouthDevelopment #SmilesMatter #Teammates

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Harlem Lacrosse-LA Advisory Board member, Romar Dennis, on receiving the PLL Welles Crowther Humanitarian Award! Romar's dedication both on and off the field has been nothing short of inspiring. As a professional athlete and a role model, his commitment to using his platform for good resonates deeply with the students we serve. His leadership and genuine passion for giving back help amplify our mission in Compton, encouraging the next generation of lacrosse players and leaders. Having Romar and others on our LA Advisory Board who are so actively engaged and supportive strengthens our efforts to grow the sport right here in our community. It’s not just about lacrosse – it’s about mentorship, opportunity, and expanding the horizons of our youth. Romar’s impact reminds us of the power of representation and the difference that having role models like him can make. Thank you, Romar, for your continued support and for being an incredible example of what it means to serve both on the field and in the community. #harlemlacrosse #student #athlete #sbyd #youth #development #community #empowerment #youthsports #education

We hosted our annual Family Day this past Saturday, and when I tell you our Harlem Lacrosse - Philly families showed up… This day was a testament to the hard work and relationships our Program Directors have built here in Philly. From parents to siblings to extended family and friends- families grabbed a stick, players were showing them what they know, and we bonded as an entire Harlem Lacrosse community. This was by far our most successful Family Day and I am so excited to continue to build this great community with our staff and families.

Our 14th Annual Golf Outing brought together partners and friends for a great cause. With the support of our sponsors, we raised $50,000 for Harlem Lacrosse, a program transforming young lives through education and sports. With over $800,000 raised since 2011, we’re proud to make a difference nationwide. Together, we’re investing in brighter futures!
