PLAY for DYLAN
COMMUNITY FEST
Sunday, April 26, 2026
In May 2025, what began as an ordinary varsity lacrosse game became a moment that forever changed countless lives. During play, sophomore defenseman Dylan Veselic was accidentally struck by a shot on goal, and tragically passed away.
Dylan was a light in every room — full of joy, laughter, and quiet determination. His love for soccer and lacrosse fueled many of his days, but it was his kindness, loyalty, and genuine spirit that left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.
In the days and weeks that followed, Dylan’s family, teammates, and friends were surrounded by an outpouring of love from near and far. The darkest of times revealed the brightest side of humanity — reminding all who loved him that even in heartbreak, love endures.
Dylan’s spirit lives on in the hearts he touched and the friendships he built. To honor his life and the incredible young man he was, we are establishing the Dylan Veselic Memorial LAX Scholarship — a lasting tribute to his passion, his heart, & the way he inspired others both on and off the field.
