MORAVIAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHES VOLUNTEER FOR LAUREN'S FIRST AND GOAL CHARITY 

EASTON, PA --- More than 250 college coaches from across the country including Jeff Pukszyn, Chris Leavenworth, Ian Dell, Jim Newhard and Mike Behr from the Moravian College staff will volunteer their time for the eighth annual Lauren's First and Goal Football Camp on Sunday, June 5 at Lafayette College. 

The camps are open to students who will be entering grades 9 through 12 in September 2011. During the one-day camp, athletes receive instruction in a variety of offensive and defensive skills from volunteer college coaches from around the country. The camp will also feature University of Connecticut head coach Paul Pasqualoni as the guest speaker.

To register for the camp, student-athletes can visit www.LaurensFirstandGoal.org for instructions, including how to submit their $30 registration fee through Paypal. Campers wishing to pay by check can download printable forms from the website.

The camps are the primary fundraiser for Lauren´s First and Goal Foundation, which is a 501c3 charitable organization that provides financial support for brain tumor research and cancer services, offers financial and emotional support to families living with pediatric cancer, and increases awareness of the disease. Created in 2004 by John and Marianne Loose in honor of their 13-year-old daughter Lauren, a pediatric brain tumor survivor, LFG has donated more than $800,000 toward the fight against pediatric brain tumors and cancer.
