PETE’S MAN UP
In late January, our lacrosse community received heartbreaking news. Pete Stirling — legendary Parkway West coach, devoted husband, and father of three — was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
For more than two decades, Pete has poured himself into this game and into the lives of countless young men and families. He has led with humility. He has led with generosity. And he has always shown up.
Now it’s our turn.
As Pete undergoes intensive treatment in the months ahead, the Ever Forward Foundation is stepping in to support the Stirling family so they can focus on what matters most.
If you’re able, please consider helping.
