The Fairfield FALL FACE-OFF BOYS 7V7 Will not be held in 2010 We recommend the Sticks for Soldiers Tournament Stick for Soldiers Lacrosse Classic Fairfield Connecticut The 5th annual Sticks for Soldiers Classic will once again be taking place at Fairfield Ludlowe High School, Fairfield, CT on Saturday  November 27th 2010. Over the life of this event  a total of  $44,000  has been raised in support of our servicemen and women wounded in conflicts around the world. In 2009 we also collected gently used lacrosse gear which was donated to the Bridgeport Youth lacrosse program. This included sticks, gloves, pads,helmets and cleats. High School Teams that have participated have come from local Connecticut High School programs as well as teams from nearby New York and New Jersey including Fairfield Ludlowe, Brien McMahon, Fairfield Warde, Fairfield Prep, Staples, Barlow, Weston, Madison,  NJ Dragonflys, and The Hopkins School. For 2010 we are honored to focus our fund raising efforts in support of Army Specialist Brendan Marrocco of nearby Staten Island, New York. On Easter Sunday 2009,  22 year old Specialist  Marrocco’s vehicle sustained a direct hit by an Explosive Fired Projectile (EFP) in Iraq and he became the first veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to lose all four limbs in combat and survive. Specialist Marrocco is currently at Walter Reed Army Medical center going through physical therapy as he eagerly awaits for arm transplants. Our fund raising efforts will be in direct support of the construction of a wheel chair accessible home to be built for Brendan on Staten Island. For more on Brendan’s Story please see the web page we have dedicated to Specialist Marrocco. The format of play will be 7 v 7. Teams will be guaranteed  at least three games possibly four.  We will have two divisions – Varsity and Sub Varsity. Play will commence at 9am and conclude by 3PM. Registration fee for each team will be $400 . We encourage teams do donate more in an effort  to support  Brendan.
