Karen Dunne Kesnig Councilwoman District 6 | Town of Brookhaven

The Shoreham-Wading River High School community gathered on May 10 for the 16th Annual Lax Out Cancer fundraiser. The event, held in Farmingville, New York, focused on supporting local families affected by cancer through a lacrosse game between Shoreham-Wading River and Comsewogue High School.

This year's event aimed to assist five local families battling cancer. The fundraising efforts included donations, raffles, and community involvement to provide both financial and emotional support.

Notable attendees included Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico and Wounded Army Warrior John Fernandez. Their presence highlighted the community's commitment to making a positive impact.

In addition to the lacrosse game, participants enjoyed various activities such as raffles, food, music, and entertainment. Since its inception in 2009, the Lax Out Cancer initiative has become an important tradition that unites athletes, families, and supporters in the fight against cancer.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
