The team supports many local charities through events like Ham It Up, where they give away hams and raffle prizes to community members. They also host youth lacrosse clinics to engage with children, spread their love of the sport, and help young players develop their skills and interest in lacrosse. Additionally, each player finds importance in involving youth and sharing their experiences from when they first took up the sport.

1. LOCAL CHARITIES
The team is involved in supporting many local charities. They enjoy meeting and helping
those in the community where they can bring joy and hope during tough times.
HAM IT UP
A continued tradition. The Bayhawks, Smartlink and
McGarveys hosted the fourth annual Ham It Up on
December 18, 2014. Gathered outside of McGarvey’s,
employees, coaches and players gave away hams to the
community. Many in the area come out to take part in the
festivities and to celebrate the Bayhawks success.
With generous donations from individuals, hams were
sponsored for families during the weeks leading up to the
event. Vouchers were distributed throughout the week to
local charities, boys and girls clubs and senior centers.
The Bayhawks also raffled off prizes consisting of gift
cards and Bayhawks gear and gave autographs to fans!
YOUTH CLINICS
The Bayhawks know the importance of involving and
educating children in the sport of lacrosse. Each
player had a special experience of their own from a
young age where their interest in the sport flourished.
Each season, and all year round, the coaches and
players take pride in hosting youth clinics where they
can engage and connect with children of all ages.
The kids are really excited to
meet the team and get a
unique opportunity to learn
first-hand from some of the
best players in the world. It is
a fun day for all when the
Bayhawks can spread the
love of the sport that they
have enjoyed since they were
kids themselves.
