On the April 7, the Johnstown boys varsity lacrosse team played their game at Knox and donned pink attire in support of breast cancer. This was part of the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative.

April 7 also marked the second annual Section II vs. Section III Lacrosse Showdown where six teams participated and friends and community members helped raise money for the American Cancer Society. People from Johnstown, Clinton, Colonie, Glens Falls, Rome Free Academy and Utica Proctor bought pink shoelaces and made generous donations helping to raise almost $2,000.
