We’ve always said that we want to be bigger than the game. Life isn’t always about lacrosse, as much as we do love the sport and have centered our lives around it. But, while trying to grow the game and work towards building a brighter future for the sport we love most, we are always trying to find a way to give back wherever we can.
Our most recent project with our LU Foundation has resulted in an unlikely partnership – lacrosse and pizza. We have teamed up with the Pizzeria of NY to bring you , drum roll please, the Pizzeria Short! These Swim Dodge shorts feature an electric blue base with pizzas all over it to represent a common favorite household food.
Together, LU and the Pizzeria will be donating a portion of the proceeds collected from these shorts to the United Veteran’s Beacon House - a not-for-profit that relies on their community partners and public donations that go directly to care services, impacting the lives of more than 500 Beacon House veteran residents, and hundreds of veterans at-risk and in crisis living in the community. Since 1994, the Beacon House has been analyzing the individual needs of Veterans and providing support in regard to homelessness, physical disabilities, PTSD, mental health issues and addiction. They counteract challenges that exist each and every day for our veterans by taking a hands-on approach with case management, transportation, counseling, and housing.
We saw an opportunity to give back to those who sacrificed most – in some cases, everything – to protect and serve our country. Click the image below to do your part and get your pair of Pizzeria shorts today!
