This will be monitored leading up to the event to ensure fundraising objectives are being covered at specific intervals. Ireland Lacrosse operates a registered 501(c)3 charitable entity as Ireland Lacrosse North America, and all eligible donations are subject to tax write offs and corporate matching.
