Retlif Testing Laboratories proudly served as a sponsor of this year’s Long Island Shootout for Soldiers, a 24-hour national lacrosse event held at The Field of Dreams in Massapequa, July 9th-10th. The event, which brings together players of all ages, raises funds and awareness in support of American veterans.
Now in its second decade, Shootout for Soldiers has grown into a premier national fundraising initiative, uniting local communities, athletes, and the U.S. military through the game of lacrosse. Its mission is to harness the power of sport to foster community engagement and give back to those who have served our country.
Retlif’s Business Development Manager, Owen Watford, represented the company at the event and accepted a certificate of appreciation on behalf of Retlif for its ongoing support and sponsorship.
“Supporting our veterans is more than a cause—it’s a responsibility,” said Walter Poggi, President of Retlif Testing Laboratories. “Shootout for Soldiers is an inspiring event that not only raises critical funds for those who’ve served, but also strengthens the bond between civilians and service members through community and sport. We’re honored to contribute to that mission.”
The Long Island event featured 24 consecutive one-hour games, with hundreds of participants and spectators turning out in support. Proceeds from the event will benefit veteran-focused organizations such as Team RWB, Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund, and the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Retlif’s ongoing commitment to veterans and national service is reflected in both its philanthropic efforts and its professional dedication to supporting U.S. defense and aerospace initiatives.
