| Former Lamorinda Lacrosse Club coach Pat Takahashi refereed the December 2008 inaugural Battle versus Breast Cancer Lacrosse Tournament, with several of Takahashi's former local players participating. Takahashi was the first Lamorinda Lacrosse Club coach when the program expanded to include 6th-8th grade girls in 2003; these former players are now in high school. Organized by California High School head varsity lacrosse coach Scott Corso, the tournament used a 7-player versus 7-player format. Eight teams competed, with over 100 girls donating their $30 entrance fees. Referees and coaches donated time. All profits went to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
