MEN'S LACROSSE PARTICIPATE IN LUSTGARTEN FOUNDATION ANNUAL PANCREATIC CANCER WALK

Paramus, N.J. (9/23/25)  Head Coach Shelley Sheiner and the Dominican University New York men's lacrosse team participated in the Lustgarten Foundation Pancreatic Cancer walk held this past Sunday (September 21st) at Bergen Community College.

The Chargers walked as part of "Team JoJo" and helped raise over $8,100.00 this year for pancreatic cancer research.

Team JoJo honors the late Joanne (JoJo) Calendrillo who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2014 and fought a courageous 20-month battle with the disease before passing away in 2016.  Her son Darren Calendrillo is a long time friend of Coach Sheiner and is one of the assistant coaches on the men's lacrosse staff.
