Successfully getting the lacrosse co-op on the field each Spring will require our community to rally to secure financial support in a short amount of time.

Our 2024 fundraising goal is $30,000 to cover the 2025 season season costs (transportation and competition fees, equipment and uniforms) for our girls and boys teams.

YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL!!

Your donation helps kids in our community participate in co-curricular activities in school, without diverting tax dollars away from current educational needs.

The Friends of Bloomington-Normal Lacrosse is a parent led, volunteer, Illinois Not-for-Profit Corporation focused on expanding co-curricular opportunities for our high school lacrosse athletes and school districts without adding additional pressure to public school budgets.

FOBNL is a tax exempt charitable organization as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code so donations are tax deductible (please contact your tax professional for details).
