WASHINGTON, July 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Leveling the Playing Field announced a new partnership with Lacrosse Unlimited.

"Lacrosse Unlimited is thrilled to work alongside LPF. Both companies share a dedication of making lacrosse accessible to all young athletes, giving every child the chance to enjoy and excel in the sport- and our partnership with LPF does just that," says Marina Skelly, Marketing Coordinator at Lacrosse Unlimited.
