Duke to Team Up with Lead the Way Fund with Silent Auction
4/18/2023 11:47:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM – The Duke men's lacrosse program will team up with the Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund for a silent auction in conjunction with the Battle of Bethpage between Duke and Merrimack May 7. All money raised will go directly to the Lead the Way Fund in honor of former Duke Blue Devil Jimmy Regan.
Faceoff is set for 1 p.m., at Bethpage High School. The auction featuring a host of items, including game-worn Duke jerseys, opens to fans at 12 p.m., and closes at the end of halftime. Fans must be in attendance to pick up the item before the conclusion of the game. All major credit cards and personal checks will be accepted.
The Lead the Way Fund will have tables set up near the entrance for fans to visit, make a bid on a jersey and learn more about the foundation that benefits Army Rangers and the families of those who have died, been disabled or are currently serving in harm's way around the world.
Also included in the auction will be a Duke helmet signed by the entire Blue Devil lacrosse team as well as a basketball autographed by Duke men's basketball head coach Jon Scheyer and another basketball signed by Duke's legendary Mike Krzyzewski.
Tickets are $14.64 ($12 ticket and $2.64 processing fee) and must be purchased online in advance through Eventbrite. Fans can purchase tickets by clicking here.
Jimmy Regan, a native of Manhasset, N.Y., attended Chaminade High School before signing on to continue his education and lacrosse at Duke University. A midfielder, Regan helped guide the Blue Devils to a four-year record of 43-21 with a pair of ACC titles in 2001 and 2002 and four NCAA Tournament appearances. He was named to the 2002 ACC All-Tournament team after scoring a career-high four goals and adding an assist as Duke defeated then top-ranked Virginia, 14-13, in the championship game.
An Academic All-ACC selection, Regan finished his collegiate career with 22 goals and four assists.
Following his graduation from Duke in the spring of 2002, Regan turned down a job offer from UBS (a financial services company) and a scholarship to Southern Methodist University's law school to enlist in the Army. Surprising many of his friends and family members, he chose to enter the U.S. Army Ranger School, emailing his former teammates the explanation "This is what I have to do."
Regan went on to graduate first in his class in infantry basic combat training. After completing the basic airborne course and Ranger Indoctrination program at Fort Benning in Georgia, he became a member of the 3rd Battalion.
Regan was killed Feb. 9, 2007 in northern Iraq when an improvised explosive device (IED) targeted his vehicle. He was 26.
Duke is 11-2 and ranked second nationally with two games remaining in the regular season. The Blue Devils take on Syracuse April 29 before heading to Long Island for the Battle of Bethpage.
