A special additional congratulations to Nicole for being selected to ALL GREATER ROCHESTER!!

We Raised More Than $1,100!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As part of our Lancer Field Hockey Cares initiative, EHS JV field Hockey Coaches Posella and Evans took the lead in organizing a Lancer Field Hockey fundraiser to benefit The Willow Domestic Violence Center. Through online donations as well as selling donuts (donated by Donuts Delite) and having a gift basket raffle during our FH games on 10/16, the team succeeded in raising more than $1,100 to benefit Willow. Lancer Field Hockey is a long-time supporter of The Willow Domestic Violence Center, having raised well over $7,000 for the organization since 2014. 

Thank you EHS FH players, families, coaches, as well as friends & alum of EHS FH, for supporting our community service efforts!!
