About:
Recently, the Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse team took time off the field to spend the day with the incredible students and staff at the Viscardi Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities. The visit was filled with camaraderie, learning, and a shared commitment to creating positive change within the community.
The Viscardi Center, located in Albertson, NY, is known for its mission to educate, employ, and empower people with disabilities, offering comprehensive services that support independence and success. This partnership gave the Hofstra players a unique opportunity to connect with students, learn about their experiences, and engage in activities designed to foster teamwork and motivation.
The lacrosse players participated in interactive activities, cheered alongside students, and shared stories of teamwork, resilience, and determination, highlighting the values that unite them both on and off the field. The day was a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from working together, as well as the importance of inclusivity and encouragement in achieving personal and shared goals.
After the event, the team took to social media to express their gratitude, tweeting, “Thank you for having us, @ViscardiCenter!!” This simple yet heartfelt message reflects the lasting impression that the day made on both the Hofstra team and the Viscardi Center community.
Thank you, Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse and the Viscardi Center, for showing us how teamwork and connection can make an inspiring impact. Here’s to many more opportunities to “team up” for good!
