In May 2023, fifteen-year-old Vivian Seay, was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer that typically affects children, teenagers and young adults. Vivian battled through ten months of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation before passing away on February 7, 2024.

From the age of seven, Vivian loved lacrosse. She spent her younger years playing for Burke Athletic Club (BAC) before moving on to play in high school at Robinson. Throughout her middle and high school years, Vivian played travel lacrosse with Rattlers/Yellow Jackets Mid-Atlantic.

During her treatment for Ewings, Vivian continued to be a dedicated teammate, as she always considered her team to be her family. She showed up to practices and games to cheer on her Robinson teammates and make them laugh with her witty sense of humor. Vivian also continued coaching K-2 players through BAC.

In January 2024, during a particularly long hospital stay, a close family friend visited Vivian and shared a brilliant idea. To honor Vivian's love of both playing and coaching lacrosse, her friend was planning a girls youth lacrosse clinic to raise money for Vivian's treatment. Sadly, Vivian passed away before the clinic took place; however, her friend pushed forward, and our inaugural lacrosse clinic was held a few weeks later in memory of Vivian.

Stick Strong with Viv is held annually in early spring for girls in grades K-8 to help prepare them for the upcoming lacrosse season, spread awareness about the symptoms of Ewing Sarcoma, and raise money for research to find a cure. Join us!

We want to live in a world where no family experiences the loss of a loved one to Ewing Sarcoma.
