The Hobart lacrosse team, through their community service group Hobart Lacrosse Helpers, is selling t-shirts to raise money for the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund. The long sleeve tees can be purchased for $20 between 11:45 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Scandling Center or at the Hobart-Air Force lacrosse game on Sat., May 1.

Inspired by Hockey Helpers, a national service organization for collegiate hockey players founded by Hobart alum Ryan Adler '09, Hobart Lacrosse Helpers have embraced the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund, a non-profit organization that supports the widows and children of U.S. Navy SEALs killed or injured in combat or training, assists wounded SEALs, and provides support to the active duty SEALs who are away from home answering the call of duty, and their families back home.

Sophomore midfielder Matt Campbell has led the Hobart Lacrosse Helpers efforts on behalf of the Navy SEAL Warrior Fund. A representative of the organization will be recognized prior to the start of Saturday's game as will U.S. military veterans. The Geneva American Legion Post's Doughboys will present the colors prior to the National Anthem.

The Statesmen and Falcons will face off at 7:07 p.m. at McCooey Field. The game will be televised live by Time Warner Cable Sports.
