NLL Unites

NLL Unites is our commitment to honoring people and serving communities, especially children. It begins with celebrating the gift of lacrosse, and uplifting those who played the game one thousand years ago. We use our platform to promote causes and organizations from Indigenous communities. We leverage our resources to expand access to this game for kids. We improve our communities by donating time, skills and capital. Unlike other sports, lacrosse was never just a game. It was a gift from the Creator. Through NLL Unites, we’ll spread that spirit to our communities.

Our journey also includes learning from our stakeholders and ecosystem.  We collaborated with RISE to conduct a series of focus groups with NLL players, teams, and front office staff to explore topics around diversity and inclusion, heritage, and equality. Students from the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology conducted a CSR landscape analysis to recommend initiatives for NLL Unites. Our League connected with other leagues, consultants, and ongoing partners to best understand the unique needs of the sport and its growing fandom.

Our CSR journey is just beginning, and now you a part of that journey. Together, we can ensure that our histories are shared and honored, our differences are acknowledged and celebrated, and our communities are served and united.
