The 2015 LtN Cup will be held on Tuesday November 24th in Managua, Nicaragua and will consist of 60 lacrosse student-athletes from Club Hope and the Public School of Chiquilistagua The LtN Cup is about more than just the wins and losses in lacrosse.
Team Hope & Team Chiqui are using the Power of Sport to raise money to improve the health of their community. Each player has a goal of raising $100 ($6,000 total) to support LtN’s nutrition programs & the Cedro Galán clinic run by Manna Project International. This year a few of LtN’s biggest supporters have committed to matching every dollar donated. That means every dollar raised is worth DOUBLE.
