Before the signs go up. Before the first whistle blows. Before the first goal is scored on our future home field... we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible generosity of a family and business that believed in our vision.
Today, we are beyond honored to announce Melling Tool Company as the official Field Naming Sponsor of our new JaxLax United Youth field.
There are moments in the life of an organization that change everything. This is one of those moments.
What started as a dream—a safe, permanent place for our athletes to learn, grow, compete, and create lifelong memories—is becoming a reality because of community leaders who choose to invest in our kids. This remarkable sponsorship is more than a contribution toward a field. It is an investment in every young athlete who will step onto that grass with a stick in their hands and confidence in their heart.
Our players have practiced wherever space was available. We've shared fields, adjusted schedules, and worked around limitations. Through it all, our athletes, families, coaches, and supporters continued to believe that one day we would have a place to call our own.
Because of the generosity of Melling Tool Company, that day is closer than ever.
Hundreds of young athletes will benefit from this gift in the years ahead. Future players who haven't even picked up a lacrosse stick yet will have opportunities because of the legacy being created today. Friendships will be formed, lessons will be learned, championships will be celebrated, and countless memories will be made on a field that carries your name.
While we are deeply grateful for this incredible sponsorship, what we appreciate even more is your commitment to the young people in our community. Your support demonstrates that our athletes matter, their dreams matter, and their future is worth investing in.
From every player, parent, coach, volunteer, and supporter of JaxLax United Youth:
Thank you.
Thank you for believing in our mission.
Thank you for believing in our athletes.
Thank you for helping us build something that will impact generations to come.
Your name will be displayed on our field, but your generosity will be felt far beyond the sidelines.
We cannot wait to welcome everyone to the future home of JaxLax United Youth and celebrate the incredible partnership that is helping make it all possible.
💛🖤🥍
Together, we're not just building a field—we're building a future.
