Shootout for Soldiers Next Weekend
July 14, 2018 - 
Shootout for Soldiers is a 24 hour lacrosse event with a mission to use lacrosse as a platform to support American veterans and foster community engagement. The games are fun - and are meant to bring the community together in support of our nation's heroes. There is no championship or all-star team and the score runs for all 24 hours.
There is good food, music and a festival of activities beyond lacrosse that make it a family friendly event for all. Last year SFS Canandaigua raised over $50k dollars through the support of over 500 players and 1,500 spectators in the Canandaigua area.
There will be fun for all next weekend, starting with
the opening ceremonies at 5:00PM
