"It's unbelievable to witness the growth of our fall event series," said Cheryl Colleluori, HEADstrong President and Nick's mom. "In 2007, the inaugural Nick Colleluori Lacrosse Classic was held at Nick's high school with just four teams. This year the series spans nine locations with 42 teams representing — it's an amazing testament to our sport and the greatest tribute to a son that a parent could ask for!"
