Today on the show we have Pat Colleluori. He is the Chief Development Officer for the HeadStrong Foundation. He’s the brother of Nick Colleluori, the Founder of HeadStrong. Nick was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 after his Freshman year at Hofstra University. He passed in 2006 after founding the HeadStrong Foundation; something his family continues to run and grow to this day. Pat and I got a chance to talk about Nick, his time with Hofstra Lacrosse, the Mission of the HeadStrong Foundation, and where it’s going over the next 10 - 15 years. For anyone looking to learn more, donate, or get involved with the HeadStrong foundation go to HeadStrong.org.
