College Raises Funds to Field Team in Spring 2015
St. Charles Companies presented $1,500 in proceeds from the 2013 St. Charles Running Festival to support establishing a womens lacrosse team at the College of Southern Maryland. Due to outstanding support from community partners and the CSM Foundation, the college has been able to launch lacrosse at the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) collegiate level in Southern Maryland, with a mens team set for its season home opener March 9.
The CSM Foundation is seeking to raise $25,000 to launch the womens team in spring 2015. St. Charles Companies offered the proceeds from the 2013 running festival, which was also sponsored by Lennar and Chick-fil-A, as a matching donation to support the colleges student athletes during #GivingTuesday in December.
