MDI Marathon ‘24: Jack Sandler Leadership Foundation

​On October 20th, 2024, four former Colby College Lacrosse players, Carter Vickers, George Eisenhauer, Adler Viton, and Matthew Savage are participating in the Mt. Desert Island Marathon in Bar Harbor, ME, raising money in memory of Jack Sandler. If you would like to support the mission of the Jack Sandler Leadership Foundation, please consider donating any amount to this page, and all proceeds will be donated directly to the Jack Sandler Leadership Foundation.

The Jack Sandler Leadership Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN #812023187, that invests in the future of less advantaged student-athletes by providing scholarships to attend high level lacrosse camps.

Jack Sandler was dedicated to growing the sport of lacrosse his entire life.

He humbly focused on being a well-rounded player and person, recognizing his strengths and seeking out opportunities to let them grow and shine. He sought out mentors and grew to be their peers, friends, and competition.

Best of all, Jack was a leader.

He led his teammates, players, friends, family, and even brief acquaintances. He inspired them to try harder, learn more, and shoot for the stars.

In his time as a coach, he recruited lacrosse players from all walks of life. Inner city athletes, bench warmers, star players, and other coaches found their place with Jack. If a young athlete had lost the love of the game, they'd find it under Jack's tutelage. If they struggled to reach their potential, Jack was there to motivate them.

The Jack Sandler Leadership Foundation and Colby Lacrosse family thank you for supporting this great cause.
