Cortland Men's Lax Helps Raise More than $11K for Upstate Cancer Center

01/23/2018

The SUNY Cortland men's lacrosse team was one of four participants that helped raise $11,712 for the Room2Smile Fund at the Upstate Cancer Center during the Fifth Annual Room2Smile Fall Classic. Cortland, Le Moyne College, Onondaga Community College, and RIT participated in the tournament on Sunday, Oct. 1 at Le Moyne.

The Room2Smile Fall Classic promotes and generates awareness of Room2Smile, a charitable organization started by former Le Moyne Dolphin men's lacrosse student-athlete Brandon Spillett (Class of 2005). Room2Smile provides emotional support and other services to children and adults in the Central New York region who have been diagnosed with cancer. The organization offers companionship to these individuals and their families through in-home or in-hospital visits, recreation activities, and other services with a goal of improving the quality of life for individuals and families of those facing a cancer diagnosis.

The Upstate Cancer Center, part of Upstate Medical University, is located in Syracuse and is a comprehensive resource in the region for cancer care. It offers advanced outpatient treatment, clinical research studies, and support services.
