The event, in conjunction with the Brandywine Youth Club, celebrates the life of former Haverford School and Garnet Valley youth player Kip Taviano, who died in a car accident on May 28, 2013. Kip, who passed away at 18, just before graduating from The Haverford School where he was a popular member of the lacrosse team and a recruited player for the first team at Furman University. Kip also played lacrosse for Brandywine Youth Club and his father, Jim, was a longtime coach there.
This event marks the year that Kip would have graduated from Furman along with his Class 1 teammates. Thousands attend the event every year and there are clinics, refreshments, alumni games and other special events. Furman coach Richie Meade has attended several times.
More than $100,000 has been raised in the first three years for the scholarship fund in Kip’s name at the Haverford School. That means that there will forever be a Kip Taviano Scholar attending the Haverford School.
