12th Annual Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival
The Katie Samson Foundation hit the $1,000,000 mark in our 10th year! We are proud to have distributed over a million dollars to charities supporting spinal cord injury research, care, and quality of life improvements. Through the years, the fest has grown beyond our wildest dreams in both numbers and stature. Each year, more teams ask to participate. More sponsors have stepped up with their support. More vendors have turned out to participate and attendence has swelled.
While lacrosse is always front and center, the commitment to support Katie and others is the epitome of a community rallying around one of its own and making a real difference in people's lives. We continue to be a grassroots effort where all participating teams support our volunteer efforts. KSF has been touched by the success of the festival and the community's commitment to the KSF mission.
The spirit of the Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival is powerful. It mirrors Katie's own spirit in her pursuit of well being for all people, whatever their challenges. So whether it is the lacrosse, the wheelchair games, the funnel cakes or the mechanical bull, join us for a great day of competition and inspiration!
