Rival Darien & New Canaan Boys Lacrosse Teams ‘Unite for the Fight’ Against Cystic Fibrosis
|
Players on the Darien and New Canaan high school boys lacrosse teams will be opposed on the field this coming Saturday at 1 p.m., but they’re uniting to support awareness of cystic fibrosis, and members of both teams will be wearing “Unite for the Fight Against CF” t-shirts to school on Friday. Saturday’s game at Darien High School stadium will be dedicated to the teams’ “CF Awareness Day.” “This year, one of the initiatives of the Darien boys’ lacrosse team is to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis,” Mo Minicus, a coach at Darien High School, wrote in a recent email. “When we reached out to New Canaan to tell them what we were doing for the game, they immediately jumped on board to help raise awareness. Hence, the title of the day became ‘Unite for the Fight.'”
She continued: “As a show of support, ‘Unite for the Fight Against CF’ t-shirts will be worn by every member of the boys’ lacrosse program (grades 9-12) to school on Friday, April 29 and during pregame.
