Central Bucks East Lacrosse Team To Play In Memory Of Former Coach

BUCKINGHAM, PA — The Central Bucks East Boys Lacrosse team will take to the field in memory of Coach Kevin Renahan during a "White Out" game against Wilson High School on Thursday, May 4 beginning at 4 p.m.

Throughout the evening, fundraisers will be held in memory of Coach Renahan for A Love For Life, a Bucks County-based nonprofit that raises money in support of pancreatic cancer research at Penn.

A limited edition, commemorative t-shirt will be sold before and after the game. And there will also be water ice, soft pretzels, hot dogs and candy.

Coach Kevin Renahan passed away last November from pancreatic cancer after a short and courageous fight.

“Thursday’s White Out Night at CB East aligns perfectly with our non-profit's mission:
Celebrating Life and Friendship and Adventure while raising money for pancreatic cancer research," said Christine Edmunds, founder and president of A Love For Life. "We are especially thankful to Coach Renahan’s family for partnering with our organization."

Coach Kevin Renahan was the devoted husband of 38 years to Mimi Renahan. He was a proud husband, father, grandfather, brother uncle, coach and teacher.

Kevin started coaching lacrosse when his sons were young and continued to coach long after they stopped playing. Besides being with his family, lacrosse was the thing that brought him the most
joy. He spent over 20 years coaching at the youth, middle school, high school and club team level. He was known as a mentor to many and always had words of encouragement and a funny anecdote for his players and their families.

“Our Council Rock North Senior lacrosse player/team captain Sam Lewis organized our AL4L Spirit Night back in late March, and Michelle Atkinson reached out the next day hoping to do something similar at her son’s school," said Edmunds. "We love the idea that so many players who played for Coach Renahan their freshman/sophomore years would be able to take to the field in his honor as upperclassmen.”
