Tutera Scholarship Fund

Making lacrosse affordable to all children, regardless of ability to pay.
The Board of Directors of New Rochelle Youth Lacrosse is honored to support and maintain the Eric Tutera Youth Lacrosse Scholarship Fund in memory of Eric's exemplary life as a scholar/athlete.
Eric Tutera played lacrosse for Pat Swift at NRHS where he was a team captain of the varsity lacrosse team. As a varsity player Eric was the epitome of a team player, anchoring the team’s defense from his position as crease defenseman. He was highly respected by his teammates, coaches and opposing players for his integrity and attitude. Eric tragically passed away in an accident in the spring of 2008.
The New Rochelle Youth Lacrosse Board works to reflect the spirit in which Eric approached his life in the organization. New Rochelle Youth Lacrosse is a Non-Profit 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to benefiting the youth of New Rochelle through our "need blind" philosophy which pledges to make lacrosse affordable to all children regardless of ability to pay.
We recognize that the cost of registration and the purchase price of lacrosse equipment is significant. If these costs are a burden, NRLAX is prepared to provide assistance via the Eric Tutera Youth Lacrosse Scholarship Fund.
