The Kienzle Fund was established in memory of Peter Kienzle, a cherished member of the Conestoga lacrosse community. The event will honor Pete’s courageous fight against cancer and proceeds from the Kienzle Fund will provide one year of post-rehabilitative exercise for two individuals – a veteran and a civilian. Interested sponsors are invited to support the event and this worthy cause; several sponsorship levels are available.
