Tucker Out Lymphoma:
Tucker Williams, the brother of current UAlbany women's lacrosse midfielder Dylana Williams, lost his battle with Burkitt lymphoma in 2014. In response to Tucker's diagnosis D. Williams's Father, Shawn Williams who at the time of Tucker's passing was playing for the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League (NLL), the franchise and city of Buffalo rallied around Tucker, and the Williams family by hosting the first-ever Tucker Out Lymphoma Night on April 5, 2014. The annual game has continued through the National Lacrosse League over a decade later as Dylan's older brother Dyson Williams played in his first Tucker Out Lymphoma Game with the Albany Firewolves on Saturday, January 4^th, against the Las Vegas Desert Dogs in which Shawn is now the Head Coach of. Teams through the NLL all hold a Tucker Out Lymphoma Game to raise awareness for pediatric cancer care in Tucker's honor since that first night.
