Lacrosse Games to Raise Funds to Fight Cancer, Organized by Non-Profit Led by Watertown Resident

By |

A sports-based non-profit started by a Watertown resident will host two lacrosse all-star games to help raise money for cancer research. Watertown’s Michael Slonina started A Shot for Life in 2010 when his mother was diagnosed with a potentially malignant brain tumor. He shot baskets for 24 hours straight in the first year, 2011. The non-profit organization grew out of Slonina’s effort, and has included basketball shooting contests, a home run derby, and now the ASFL Clash Against Cancer. The sport allowed A Shot For Cancer to expand.
