The Paul Rabil Foundation will have a fundraiser hosted at the New York Athletic Club on Dec. 7. The foundation, which was formed by two-time MLL Most Valuable Player Paul Rabil, helps children with learning differences through sports and scholarships.

"We raise money for scholarships for kids and those families that may struggle to afford the opportunity to send their kids to a school that will specialize in specialized education," Rabil said. "And now we're looking to support public schools as well."

As a child, Rabil battled through his own learning differences dealing with a condition known as "auditory processing disorder". Now, he is trying to help other children through his own experiences.

"I struggled in the classroom," said Rabil. "But I found a lot of inspiration, and my know-how in terms of work ethic and confidence on the athletic fields, particularly in lacrosse...helps cross over into the classroom with the work ethic that I took from the field and that desire to achieve at a high level."

Rabil started the foundation in 2009 to assist children with learning differences such as dyslexia and APD. Through donations, the foundation has been able to fund scholarships and build lacrosse programs at schools. Rabil's foundation has raised over $400,000 in scholarships and collected over $50,000 in lacrosse equipment.
