The Next One Up Foundation was founded by former Johns Hopkins Lacrosse player Matt Hanna. He has been quickly developing the foundation into more than an outlet to play lacrosse. Hanna and the foundation have been molding young men to take responsibility to be the next one up. This form of selflessness has slowly popped up in many areas around the country and world. For instance, CityLax in Denver and NYC, plus Fields of Growth International in Uganda have made great strides to teach lacrosse, while also empowering individuals.
