Giving Lax is an organization dedicated to bringing lacrosse to underprivileged youth in South Florida.  Giving Lax collects new and used lacrosse equipment to outfit the children with all necessary protective gear.  Once we've collected enough equipment, we begin our instructional lacrosse clinics at various after-school centers.  We are always in need of volunteer coaches.

This organization has two large Family Fun Days in November and December. Winterfest Family Fun Day is November 28, 2010. Winterfest Black Tie Ball is Saturday December 4, 2010. Winterfest Boat Parade is Saturday, December 11, 2010. In addition, we have a variety of fun events that would be appropriate for student volunteers in addition to those listed above.

Volunteer Opportunities may include: assisting with programs and special events; preparing crafts; shelving books and other materials; and tutoring younger children.

Established in 1986, Hanley-Hazelden Center, located on the campus of St. Mary's Hospital, offers a full range of recovery services for men and women over the age of 18 who struggle with alcoholism, drug dependency and related diseases.
