It's great to be here!

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. We have a tradition and history that rival all collegiate athletics programs across the nation. Our program was founded upon a selfless commitment to each other and a tireless work ethic that bonds us all. Over time, the lessons learned and relationships formed have changed and shaped the lives of each member of our program, truly making this the best developmental experience in college lacrosse. 

The program has achieved this success while also serving as the finest ambassadors for the university 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 fund the team's 2023-2024 campaign. 10.21 has 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 that 10.21 will be equally special and further elevate the program's status in the greater lacrosse community.

Why 10.21?

We chose this date because 10 and 21 are numbers that symbolize the dedication, commitment, and sacrifice that are expected of our players and mirrored in our supporters. This date also provides our benefactors an opportunity to make a calendar-year-end gift, while also providing distance between the phonathon period and Giving Day.
