The Shoreham-Wading River High School community gathered on May 10 for the 16th Annual Lax Out Cancer fundraiser. The event, held in Farmingville, New York, focused on supporting local families affected by cancer through a lacrosse game between Shoreham-Wading River and Comsewogue High School.

This year's event aimed to assist five local families battling cancer. The fundraising efforts included donations, raffles, and community involvement to provide both financial and emotional support.

Notable attendees included Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico and Wounded Army Warrior John Fernandez. Their presence highlighted the community's commitment to making a positive impact.

In addition to the lacrosse game, participants enjoyed various activities such as raffles, food, music, and entertainment. Since its inception in 2009, the Lax Out Cancer initiative has become an important tradition that unites athletes, families, and supporters in the fight against cancer.
