Gear the Globe is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded by Sam Cardella, a 9th grader from Mendham, NJ, who plays lacrosse for the STEPS
“My passion for lacrosse led me to this incredible opportunity to help lead what I hope will be one of the largest equipment drives in the country. My goal is to get a stick in anyone’s hand who wants to play. Together with the Pan-American Lacrosse Association, Peru Lacrosse Association and the founder and President of STEPS Lacrosse, Charlie Shoulberg, we will help grow the game globally and hopefully reach the Olympic dream.”
