West Springfield girls lacrosse team volunteers at Polar Plunge

There were 10 girls from our lacrosse who helped out.  They volunteered for 4 hours.

The girls set up the area where the registered plungers ran on the beach to the water.  They supported each individual runner as well as set up food.  In addition they were able to cheer on everyone and had a fun time doing it.  Their cause was to support the Special Olympics and to raise awareness.  They did this as a team in order to bring them closer together while supporting a cause. They enjoyed being surrounded by people that do this every year.  It inspired them to be better citizens and to make this a tradition each year.  The atmosphere was positive and that can be translated to the team.
