Game for a Cure

The Clarkston Lacrosse Community hosts the 12th Annual Game for a Cure at Clarkston High School, April 29.
Lacrosse games are played throughout the day as many remember and celebrate the people in our lives who have been affected by cancer while raising money for St. Joseph-Mercy Oakland’s Cancer Research Center.
T-shirts are available for $15 and are available before the event by contacting Theresa Bordeau at bourdeaufamily@comcast.net. Wearing this year’s Game for a Cure T-shirt is accepted as your entry to the event.
They are also asking for a $5 donation at admission for all of the games during the event.
You can also help out by donating at www.gofundme.com/gameforacure2017 or donating your time by volunteering.
Game for a Cure began as a tribute to Frank “Big Poppa” Kaminskas, a great father, grandfather, uncle, coach and friend whose positive influence has made a lasting impact on so many. Clarkston Lacrosse continues to recognize Big Poppa each year through Game for a Cure, to honor his legacy of teaching lacrosse to a new generation of players, and giving back to others in the community.
Please see The Clarkston News next week for a schedule of games.
