The money raised for this event will be donated to Hasbro Children’s Hospital.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.-Providence College men's lacrosse head coach Chris Gabrielli announced today (Oct. 29) that the program will again be partnering with Vs. Cancer Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation for their annual fundraising campaign.
 
Vs. Cancer is a Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and their goal is to help fund child life programs. This year's campaign is called "Changing the Game for Kids with Cancer." For this event, all funds raised will go directly to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, R.I.
 
Vs. Cancer was founded by Chase Jones who was diagnosed with a Stage IV brain tumor at 18 years old. Jones was a Division I baseball player at the University of North Carolina. His team supported him through his treatment and raised money to support local hospitals. Due to national research efforts and community help, Chase is now 10 years cancer-free.
 
"Providence College lacrosse has been a proud supporter of Vs. Cancer for nearly 10 years, and our current and former players, parents and all our Alumni have rallied behind this great cause, raising tens of thousands of dollars for pediatric brain tumor research and other funding for local hospital child's life programs.  We are asking for your support again, as we strive to raise at least $10,000 for kids battling cancer." Gabrielli said.
