About:
La Salle Institute recently demonstrated the powerful impact of athletics and service by raising $33,126 to support local veterans.
Through the team’s annual Cadets for Vets fundraiser, members of the La Salle hockey program worked together with the school community to raise funds benefiting the Albany Housing Coalition, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans and individuals experiencing homelessness in the Albany area.
On Thursday, February 12, the team proudly presented a check for the funds raised, marking another successful year for the initiative. The donation will help provide critical housing support and services for veterans who need assistance rebuilding stability in their lives.
The Cadets for Vets fundraiser has become an important tradition for the La Salle hockey program, giving student-athletes the opportunity to use their platform to serve those who have served the country.
The team also expressed gratitude to the many donors, supporters, and community members whose generosity made the effort possible. Their contributions helped transform a community-driven fundraising effort into meaningful support for local veterans.
Through initiatives like Cadets for Vets, the student-athletes from La Salle Institute continue to show that leadership extends far beyond the ice, demonstrating a strong commitment to service, gratitude, and community impact.
