Every year the High Point University Women's Lacrosse team hosts a 5K to fundraise for the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation in honor of Mason Lavack, the team's honorary captain, who passed away in September 2011.

"His spirit lives in all who met him. He was brave beyond his years and his courage is legendary. He taught us about life. He taught us about ourselves. He made us better people. He was a hero and he will be missed."

The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation matches children diagnosed with pediatric brain tumors to local teams in an attempt to improve the quality of life for the children.

To give back to a foundation that gave us so much, we will be hosting our 11th Annual Mason Run 5K. We are thrilled to announce the Mason Run this year will take place on HPU campus again on April 29th! For more details on the run, head over to our Instagram: @hpuwlax. We are so excited to run with you for this great cause!

All proceeds will go towards the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation.

Thank you for your support,

High Point Women's Lacrosse
