The JP Memorial Committee is seeking both monetary donations and/or donors who can purchase custom pavers as part of the design, creation, building and installation of a memorial in honor of John Pappas. Link to the Paver purchase below.
John dedicated his life to growing the participation, enthusiasm, and love of lacrosse in both children and adults alike. His love of the game and his ties with the tight-knit lacrosse community led him to run countless clinics, tournaments, charity events and leagues.
In 1979 he created the Cantiague Summer Lacrosse League. During his 40+ years as the director of the league, it was widely recognized as one of the premier adult lacrosse leagues in the country.
This memorial will be placed on the grounds of Cantiague Park next to the American Flagpole that sits in front of the turf fields that are currently used for this league.
The Memorial Park will consist of a rock with a bronze plaque and a walkway with benches. Besides monetary *donations to our cause, there will be other opportunities in which donors can express their gratitude for what John did for the game of lacrosse in our community. See options and pricing below.
