Growing the game in Africa!! I plan to visit Senegal from November 1st - 9th to teach lacrosse and help communities throughout Senegal. We need your help to raise money to fund this incredible trip!

In 2019, artist Ryan Cronin shared lacrosse with a village in Senegal during his artist residency. The kids were eager to learn. Three years later, he returned to run Senegal's first official lacrosse clinic—the enthusiasm was still burning bright.

Today, lacrosse is being played in multiple Senegalese communities. Local coaches are emerging. What started as one artist sharing a game has become a movement.

But we're just getting started. Now, Ally Mastroianni and Sam Geiersbach are bringing their passion, talent, and knowledge to grow the game in Senegal, West Africa.

Art4Lax has established partnerships throughout Africa to make this trip absolutely life-changing:

AFLK Partnership: Executive Director committed to girls' lacrosse programs in Tambacounda

International School Network: Coaches in Dakar engaged for urban expansion

Le Korsa NGO: Trusted partner handling all ground logistics

Community Leadership: Local coaches in Sinthian and Richard Toll training the next generation

November 1-9, 2025 - The date is set. The team is assembled. The communities are waiting.

Everything is in place, but we need funding secured immediately to move forward with this November 2025 program.

Funds will support:

✅ Travel ✅ Professional expertise mentoring Senegalese coaches ✅ First-ever girls' lacrosse programs through our AFLK partnership ✅ Professional documentary capturing every historic moment ✅ International school network expansion in Dakar ✅ Complete regional coverage from rural villages to the capital city ✅ Lacrosse equipment packages ✅ Translation services ✅ Transportation services

$$ will be given to Le Korsa to fund logistics, details for this specific trip and support its initiatives to improve life in Senegal.

Any donation helps! Please consider supporting the growth of lacrosse in Senegal by donating or sharing :)
