About:
This game was created to celebrate the life of Lauren Lenardi and everything she stood for! As many of you know on March 1st 2013 our community lost one of the most amazing and influential people to have ever walked the halls of Kings Park High school. Lauren has left a larger than life impact on our soccer program and obviously on our community as well. She has taught us to live our lives the right way and to never take anything for granted. Her strength, courage, and integrity have inspired us to be better people. Through out everything Lauren went through, she always put others first and never lost her amazing smile. Lauren managed to turn our soccer program into our SOCCER FAMILY! We play this game every year to honor Lauren’s life and the legacy she has left… Lauren We Love You!!!!
The Proceeds from today’s game will be used to fund the annual Lauren Lenardi Soccer Scholarship, we will also be making donations to Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, Kicks for Cancer in Lauren’s name to help fund cancer research, and to DezyStrong . I’d like to thank the Lenardi family for all their support and strength, you have been a true inspiration to us all. In closing I’d like to share some of Coach Keenan’s “Laurenisms”
