It’s March Madness…Field Hockey Style

The Friends of Lafayette Field Hockey is challenging field hockey alumni as well as past and current parents to take part in a bracket challenge from Mar 23- April 13. Alumni and Parents have been challenged to make a gift during the designated period. The amount of the gift is not tallied just the fact that you gave.

The game is divided by graduation year and by parent year. Daily updates will be provided via Twitter from the Lafayette Maroon Club  and weekly tallies can be found on the field hockey twitter, facebook, and instagram Lafayette field hockey accounts.

If 100 DONORS participate in the challenge, an anonymous alum will contribute $5,000 to support the field hockey program. In addition, the winning group will win a catered pre-game or post-game tailgate at a mutually agreed upon Field Hockey game in 2017. If you make a gift online or by mail specify Field Hockey Bracket Challenge in the appropriate box.
