Central Bucks Lacrosse Teams To Play In Memory Of Former Coach

BUCKINGHAM, PA ? The Central Bucks East and West Boys Lacrosse programs are teaming up to honor the memory of Coach Kevin Renahan by raising funds for pancreatic cancer research.

The public is invited to cheer on the teams as they play a junior varsity game beginning at 5:30 p.m. followed by a varsity game at 7 p.m. in the coach's memory at Patriots Stadium.

Throughout the evening, the teams will also be selling limited edition East/West t-shirts to benefit A Love for Life, a Bucks County-based nonprofit that raises funds to support pancreatic cancer research at Penn Medicine.

In addition, proceeds from the sale of hot dogs, bratwurst, baked goods and Harbo Gummies will be earmarked for A Love for Life with 100 percent of the cash sales being matched.

Coach Kevin "KR" Renahan passed away on Nov. 19, 2022 after a short and courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. He was a devoted husband of 38 years to Mimi Renahan and was a proud husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, coach and teacher.

Renahan started coaching lacrosse when his sons were young and continued to coach long after they stopped playing.

Besides being with his family, lacrosse was the thing that brought him the most joy. He spent over 20 years coaching at the youth, middle school, high school and club team level. He was known as a
mentor to many and always had words of encouragement and a funny anecdote for his players and their families.

A Love For Life will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds raised at the game to the pancreatic cancer researchers at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center. Donations are 100 percent tax deductible.
