Port Jeff Hosts Aidan Kaminska My Day Foundation Memorial Lacrosse game
The Port Jefferson Royals Boys Varsity Lacrosse team hosted the Eastport-South Manor Sharks in the inaugural Aidan Kaminska “My Day” Foundation Memorial Lacrosse Game — an event marked by an overwhelming outpouring of support from fans and generous online donations.
Head Coach Taylor Forstell described the atmosphere as one where Aidan thrived: “It was the type of environment where Aidan gave every ounce of his energy to help win lacrosse games. The crowd was lively, and both teams left it all on the field. I hope we can build on today’s success and continue to grow this game for years to come.”
The event raised over $3,000 for the Aidan Kaminska “My Day” Foundation, which supports mental health initiatives and academic resources for high school and college student-athletes nationwide. Every player from both teams received a wellness box, one of the many ways the foundation gives back through scholarships and mental health awareness tools.
A senior captain and former teammate of Aidan shared his thoughts:
“This day was a perfect reflection of who Aidan was as a player and teammate. From Mr. Kaminska’s speech to the fans and former players who showed up, to the wellness boxes we received — it was an amazing experience. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year and being part of the fan support.”
