  "account": "PLL star CJ Kirst is set to play for the Philadelphia Waterdogs in a game that could break the PLL's single-season goal record. As part of his efforts to give back to the lacrosse community, Kirst is wearing Lax.com cleats that support CityLax. This is the second time this season Kirst has worn the cleats, which were created in partnership with Nike and Lax.com as part of the Cleats for a Cause campaign. Kirst believes that growing the game of lacrosse involves giving back and supporting players and organizations like CityLax. CityLax is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that aims to change the lives of students through lacrosse, operating in over 50 high schools and 15 middle schools across the boroughs since its founding in 2009. CityLax has helped over 2,500 students annually and boasts a 99% graduation rate for those who participate in the program. Kirst's decision to support CityLax is seen as a significant honor by the organization's CEO, Rich Lisk, who expresses his gratitude for Kirst's support.",
