As some of you may already know, the fan clubs across the NLL have teamed up to raise funds for cancer research. The fans in Toronto began a fund drive for the Canadian Cancer Society, called Les's Fund, and challenged all the other fan clubs around the league to join in, and raise fund for their local cancer society or research hospital. The Brigade has accepted the challenge, and will be raising money for Roswell Park Cancer Institute here in Buffalo.
One of the fund raiser's that all the fan clubs are doing, is Lisa's Beads for Les' Fund. Lisa's Beads was started by the daughters and neices of Lisa McBride, who lost her battle with cancer last July. The girls hand make bracelets, anklets, necklaces and anything beaded, and sell them with the proceeds going to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society. The NLL fan clubs have teamed up with Lisa's Beads, and the girls have been working thier tails off making bracelets in NLL team colors for the fan clubs to sell. They've agreed to let us donate the proceeds to our local organizations, provided the donation is made in the name of Les' Fund.
The Brigade has three different styles of beads available. We have plain bracelets, in both home and away colors, you can even get them with your favorite player's number on them, and as a special order item, we also have lacrosse stick necklaces.
The plain bracelets are $5 each, the number bracelets are $6 and the necklaces, due to the cost of the lax sticks and extra materials are $10 each. The necklaces will only be made to order, due to the cost of the supplies.

We will have bracelets available at the Krew table during this week's game in Rochester. We only have a limited number of the number bracelets, but if we don't have what you're looking for we'll be glad to take an order and have one made up for you.
The beads will be available until the end of the season, but they will NOT be available in the arena for home games. To order your beads, please contact me via this msg board, email or visit the Brigade website.
We will also be holding a Chinese Auction at our end of season banquet on March 28th as a second fundraiser. More details about the banquet will be coming soon!
Cancer has a new enemy, and we don't fight fair!
