Irish to Host Eighth Annual Daughter for Dads Fundraiser

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame Women’s Lacrosse annually dedicates a portion of their season to raise awareness and funding for the Harper Cancer Research Institute through their Daughters for Dads (D4D) campaign. As D4D enters its 8th year, the team will host fundraising efforts through the month of March with efforts culminating and being recognized during the March 26 Duke game. As Jordy Shoemaker says, ““Dollars Lead to Research, Research Leads to more Time, More Time is priceless.”

There is still time to register for virtual 5k, and receive a cool t-shirt! Also, during halftime on Saturday, March 26, we’re hosting a Lacrosse Toss. Make an online donation on Saturday at the Harper Cancer Research Institute table and receive a tennis ball. The tennis ball that lands closest to the helmet on the field will receive a D4D prize pack.  Also, fans can write the name of a loved one as part of the “In memory of” wall in the concourse.
