Second Annual 'Day of Lacrosse' to Support Monster’s Kids

Monster’s Kids would like to extend an invitation to attend the second annual “Day of Lacrosse” in support of Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center located in New Hyde Park.

This special day will take place on Saturday, May 5, and include the much-anticipated Alumni Woodstick Classic and post game party, a clinic for boys in grades 1 – 6 and live music at Leo's in the evening. All proceeds from this year’s “Day of Lacrosse” will be designated to fund critical programs within the Developmental and Behavioral Unit at the Medical Center.

Monster’s Kids is a foundation that was started in 2009 by Tim and Lisa Goettelmann and their longtime friends Dan and Kristen Denihan to better the lives of sick children.

Tim Goettelmann, aka “The Monster,” played professional lacrosse for the Long Island Lizards for 11 years and recently retired to spend time with his family. The Long Island Lizards Organization and Major League Lacrosse (MLL) donated generously to help get this new foundation up and running. The idea of Monster's Kids excites Tim because he was able to take two things that he is very passionate about, children and lacrosse, and combine them into a successful charity.

In the few years since Monster’s Kids was created, it has raised much-needed funds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Child Life program at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Last year’s “Day of Lacrosse” raised enough funds to renovate a critical care playroom for the Child Life program at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. This room will be dedicated in memory of Ryan Kohart (#34), of Garden City, when it is completed.
