Columbia University Pre-Game Announcement

On Saturday, April 13 at 3 p.m., the Columbia women's lacrosse team will host Yale as the main contest of the LAX Loves Long Island event at Oceanside High School in Oceanside, N.Y. Saturday's game will highlight the LAX Loves LI fundraiser initiative in hopes to raise $75,000 to benefit Oceanside Community Service and Island Harvest.
Tickets will be available on-site on Saturday. The suggested donation is $10 for adults and $5 for students.

Oceanside Community Service, which serves the towns in southern Nassau County, has raised and distributed more than $100,000 to victims of Hurricane Sandy to date.

“Our mission at Oceanside Community Service has always been to lend a hand to our neighbors in need. We won’t stop until everyone is back in their homes,” said Robert M. Transom, head of Oceanside Community Service and also a trustee on the Oceanside Schools Board Of Education.

Island Harvest is the largest hunger relief organization on Long Island. By relying on volunteers, in-kind services, and donated food, they devote more than 95 cents of every dollar contributed directly to their programs.
