Rooted in Tradition

United in Lacrosse

our mission

The Thompson Brothers’ 4 The Future Foundation inspires youth by encouraging the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle while promoting the attributes of the student-athlete and a call for generational leadership.

Our focus is on creating programs for indigenous and underserved communities where lacrosse meets Indigenous culture and creates community-based opportunities that provide a pathway for the next generation to achieve their dreams.
