Three years ago the first Team Strong Hope was formed with a group of boys to play in a lacrosse tournament in Maryland. I wanted these boys to play for a cause and a purpose. We choose to play in honor of pediatric cancer. In addition to playing we raised over $1000.00 in a week with just 12 boys and onward things went from there. Cancer shows no prejudice or mercy on the ones it attacks. StrongHope Foundation has waged a counter attack towards this disease with the Team StrongHope Campaign which we hope with the help from many can contribute to one day finding a cure. The Team Strong Hope name is defined as: Team - a group organized to work together Strong - involving or possessing physical or mental strength Hope - a wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment We choose the Neon yellow color to raise awareness. With the pediatric cancer ribbon being a golden yellow we have accented it with a bright neon yellow to attract attention to the campaign and to raise question about what we stand for. We want to be what pink is to breast cancer in years to come! Each year we have continued to put together Team Strong Hope teams that have raised money and played for Pediatric Cancer treatment and research. This year marks the third year for the Team Strong Hope campaign and things are rapidly spreading to more teams and more sports at all levels.
