The HLA Foundation is committed to engaging and inspiring youth girls and women through sport and lacrosse with a positive and constructive atmosphere. The Foundation established in 1994 has multiple commitments including The HLA National Schoolgirl Lacrosse Award which was created to recognize the most outstanding schoolgirl lacrosse player in the Nation in spirit as well as athletic ability. A trophy is presented and the girls name added to the elite list of past recipients. In 2008 HLA Clinics and Camps were introduced which are hosted and coached by past and present HLA recipients finalists and elite NCAA players.
