The LAX Hurrah features a full lineup of all home games, team photos, and activities, including:

– Local Food Trucks — popular area vendors will be onsite offering fan-favorite bites, generously donating a portion of sales back to Tewksbury Youth Lacrosse.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the Helicopter Ball Drop this year — it’s going to be a fantastic spectacle,” said George Phillips, TYL President. “And with lacrosse growing so quickly in Tewksbury, it’s great to see our families and local businesses rally around these events. We have 15 local businesses sponsoring our program this year, which is amazing. The Ginsburg Family is generously donating both their time and helicopter to make 50/50 Helicopter Ball Drop happen. The kids are especially excited to top their fastest shots from last year.”
