PC Men’s Lacrosse Teams
With America Supporting Americans
CLINTON, S.C. – The Presbyterian College men’s lacrosse
team is doing all that they can to help troops abroad,
joining forces with an organization that matches groups with
U.S. Military units serving overseas.
The America Supporting Americans organization has matched up
the Blue Hose with the 3-8 CAV D Company that is currently
based in Iraq and has been there for quite some time. The
Blue Hose recently put together 10 boxes of non-perishable
items that were sent to Iraq and the soldiers.
“The America Supporting Americans program is something that
I feel really strongly about and I am honored that my
student-athletes took it upon themselves to help our
American soldiers,” remarked PC men’s lacrosse coach Jason
Childs. “If this in some way helps the cause then we are
doing our job at home so that they can do their job overseas
to make it a better place for all of us at home.”
PC is one of 26 lacrosse teams nationwide, including
Cornell, Duke, Ohio State, Hobart and the Air Force Academy,
to help out with the America Supporting Americans program.
Founded in 1967, America Supporting Americans is a
non-profit organization that links individual units in all
branches of the military with groups, businesses and
communities across the country. For more information on the
program please visit www.asa-usa.org.
