The AJO4Lax Fest honors the memory of Andrew Oswald, a star Pope High School attack man who tragically died as a result of a single-car accident in Marietta, GA in 2005. Proceeds from the event support the Andrew J. Oswald Memorial Fund, Ltd.

“We continue striving to ensure that our teens are properly educated before they get behind the wheel,” said Andrew Oswald’s father, and the Fund’s co-founder and President, Bruce Oswald. “Our primary mission for the last two years has been helping Georgia’s teen lacrosse players to make the right “life” decisions.”
