Following Coach McCleary’s philosophy, the players and coaches foster an environment that supports growth, advancement, and development of not only lacrosse, but also community and camaraderie.

Inspired by our belief that developing a well-rounded student-athlete means investing in character-building activities and experiences both on and off the field, the SWI Foundation was established to make women’s lacrosse accessible for all while also encouraging our players and their families to serve and give back to our local and global communities. Please read below for some of our annual events and scholarship opportunities for players in need.

The SWI Foundation is funded by generous donations from STICK WITH IT! families, local businesses, organizations, and anonymous donors. If you or your business would like to make a donation, please go here or contact us directly.

Care to Share

Equipment program where we loan equipment to new and existing programs and individual players in need.  If you have equipment you are interested in donating or are in need of equipment to launch or grow your program please contact us for more information.

Teddy Bear Drive

As part of our mission to give back to the community, SWI Foundation holds an annual Teddy Bear Drive during the December holiday season. We collect donations of new teddy bears for children who are spending their holidays in the hospital. Started as a means to provide comfort and happiness to children unable to celebrate at home, the Teddy Bear Drive is one of our favorite annual events!

Scholarship Fund

One of SWI Foundation’s goals is to provide all female athletes the opportunity to be introduced to women’s lacrosse or continue their pursuit of playing women’s lacrosse while maintaining good academic standing, and serving as a positive liaison for their community.  The SWI Foundation offers scholarships to those players and families with limited financial means, who otherwise would not be able to participate and be a part of women’s lacrosse.

Please fill out the application below and send it to us and we will do our best to offer assistance.
