ROCHESTER, N.Y. — For both Rochester Rattlers home games in the month of May (vs Charlotte Hounds on May 11 and vs Florida Launch on May 20), the team is raising money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.
The traditional Real Men Wear Pink program was created by the American Cancer Society to give men a greater presence in the fight against breast cancer. The campaign takes place in over 200 communities, mostly during the month of October. Real Men Wear Pink features a group of dedicated and distinguished community leaders who are determined to help save lives from breast cancer by committing to raise awareness and funds. During the month of May, Major League Lacrosse teams will face off in the Real Men Wear Pink Challenge benefiting the American Cancer Society. The Rochester Rattlers are happy to help out.
Lacrosse fans can pick their favorite player and pledge for every goal, save, or groundball they record through the specially designed Pledge It website MLLPinkChallenge.org. The funds raised by each player will help their team reach the top of the leaderboard and be crowned “Real Men Wear Pink Team of the Year,” helping to lead the fight for a world without cancer.
The Rochester Rattlers have selected four players, Goalie John Galloway, Attackmen Jordan Wolf and Ned Crotty and Face off specialist Drew Simoneau, each will be competing for the title “Real Man of the MLL.”
