On March 20, four Division I programs play a full day of lacrosse at The Citadel, with two of the country’s best high school teams opening on the same field. It is the largest lacrosse event South Carolina has hosted, and the fifth 285 Lacrosse has staged since 2024.
We have done this before. In 2025, Maryland and Notre Dame — ranked No. 2 and No. 1 in the country — played in front of 10,137 people at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Every event ends the same way: a stadium full of kids who had never seen the game played at that level.
285 Lacrosse is a 501(c)(3). Sponsorship covers the stadium, the production, and the tickets we put in the hands of local youth programs. Proceeds go to Shootout for Soldiers and LaCROSSe Out Cancer, benefiting the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.
We are building the 2027 sponsor group now, with Sports Intel signed on as presenting sponsor. The rest of the roster is open — field and sideline signage, hospitality, category partnerships — and we will shape a package around your business. Write to us and we will send the 2027 partnership deck.
