10/21: Cornell Lacrosse Day

For over 125 years, Big Red lacrosse has been a source of pride for the entire Cornell community. In that time, thousands of players have taken the field, producing over 700 wins, several national titles and multiple Tewaaraton Award winners. The program has achieved this success while also serving as the finest ambassadors for the university of which they represent. To be part of this program is to have the highest standard for your performance as a team member, student, and human. On 10/21 we celebrate our program and honor the members of our family who have set this standard, by coming together on the same day to fully fund the team's 2019-2020 campaign.  We hope this will become an annual day of celebration, remembrance, and appreciation. To be part of this family is special and when we come together as a team special things can happen. We know 10/21 will be equally special and further elevate the program's status in the greater lacrosse community

Why 10/21?

Cornell Athletics made the decision to move team phonathons to the Fall. The feeling is this will provide benefactors an opportunity to make an end of calendar year gift, while also providing distance between the phonathon period and Giving Day. We chose Monday, October 21st because 10/21 are numbers that symbolize the dedication, commitment, and sacrifice that's expected of our players and mirrored in our supporters.
