Join Us in Supporting Jack Giorgio and Jack's Drive 55!
As part of our lacrosse family, you know how deeply we care about supporting one another both on and off the field. Today, we’re asking for your help to support a cause that hits close to home.
As many of you know, Jack Giorgio, a valued member of our EMass Hawks 2027 team, embodies what it means to be a fighter. At first glance, Jack seems like any other talented and kind athlete in our program. However, his journey has been anything but ordinary. In May 2019, at the age of 11, Jack was diagnosed with a Low-Grade Glioma, a type of brain tumor located on his brain stem. This difficult-to-treat location caused symptoms such as balance issues, asymmetrical smiling, and muscle weakness, making surgical intervention highly risky.
Through his journey, the Giorgio family created Jack’s Drive 55, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funding vital pediatric brain tumor research. Proceeds from this initiative support institutions like the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, advancing hope and treatment for children facing similar battles. We are thrilled to partner with Jack's Drive this season to help us honor Jack’s story and support this critical cause by donating today. Every contribution brings us closer to a cure.
Here’s how you can make a difference...
- Purchase Apparel: We’ve designed apparel where 100% of the proceeds from each sale go directly to cancer research through Jack’s Drive 55. It’s a great way to show your support and spread awareness. We've designed multiple pieces with apparel brands Stoller and Legends in kids, men & women sizes. Click here to shop apparel.
- Make a Donation: Every dollar counts. Your donation, big or small, will go a long way in funding cures for children with brain tumors, the leading cause of pediatric cancer deaths, and honoring Jack’s fight. Click here to donate.
Let’s come together as a community to make a difference. Thank you for your generosity and support—it means the world to all of us.
If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can help create a brighter future for those affected by cancer.
Warm regards,
Kevin
