Custom Hills vs. Autism shorts by Mesh Lacrosse

When tasked with a single community service project for his bar mitzvah last year, Drew Quinto was determined to affect long-term change. Rather than signing up for a one-time experience, Quinto and his parents, Paul and Allison, founded Hills vs. Autism, an organization that promotes tolerance for children on the autism spectrum.

This year, with the help of his parents and his brother, Quinto will host the second annual Hills vs. Autism Bowling fundraiser at Commack Vets Lanes on Friday.

The event, which raised $15,000 last year, fundraises for various local groups and agencies that provide social and recreational services for adolescents and teenagers on the spectrum.

The issue hits home for Quinto, who has a close relationship with his older brother, Corey, who is on the autism spectrum.

“We as a family felt there was a need for socialization, and we thought it would be great to make a donation in that way,” Quinto said, “We thought socialization because people who donate for autism usually donate toward research, and at this point there’s no cure, and social programs are important, so this was really the right place to start. “

Last year, Hills vs. Autism donated a chunk of their proceeds to bring a challenger lacrosse team all the way from Maryland to play in a tournament against a Half Hollow Hills–based team. The challenger league provides students on the spectrum with the chance to participate on a team sport, a valued opportunity for any child.

Quinto, a member of the Hills East lacrosse team, also remains active with the local challenger league.

The Quintos have also donated to the Suffolk Y Jewish Community Center’s theater program, and interactive after school experience for students to engage with peers over common theatrical interests. Corey has found his passion in the industry and is an aspiring film critic who can quote movies along with the most seasoned of critics. Corey has also participated in a vocational program where he shadowed employees at a local movie theatre, learning the ins and outs of the industry.

“I’ve seen a change; he gets more excited and positive,” Quinto said of his brother since finding his passion.

The event is set to take place on May 3, from 7-10 p.m., and will feature raffle items and custom Hills vs. Autism shorts (designed and produced by Mesh Lacrosse).

Selling shorts for Hurricane Sandy

by Robert Linnehan on 01/07/2013 12:01pm

A local Moorestown couple started a lacrosse apparel business and are selling shorts to benefit the Hurricane Sandy cleanup efforts.

Mesh Lax will continue to sell these shorts to benefit cleanup efforts while supplies last.

Jay and Raquel Winkler of Moorestown are extending a successful Hurricane Sandy benefit and selling their extremely popular “Jersey Shore” lacrosse shorts while supplies last.

The Winklers own and operate an online lacrosse merchandise clothing store, Mesh Lacrosse, and have raised more than $6,750 through the sale of their “Jersey Shore” lacrosse shorts to donate to the American Red Cross. The business owners donated the cash to the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts and have announced that they will begin selling the special shorts against on their website.

Jay Winkler said the store had to cease sales of the shorts about two weeks prior to Christmas in order to fill the number of orders that were flowing into the website. All proceeds from the shorts are donated to the Hurricane Sandy relief fund sponsored by the American Red Cross.

Created by Jay and designed by Anthony Peist, the shorts are designed with half of the garment featuring various postcards from shore points throughout New Jersey and the other half featuring a drawing of a boardwalk.

Mesh Lacrosse was the brainchild of Raquel, Jay said, and she officially opened the company just months before Hurricane Sandy slammed into New Jersey. The Winklers are a “lacrosse family,” Jay said, as he and his children all still play the popular sport.

Lacrosse is the fastest growing youth sport in America, he explained, and the Winklers saw an opportunity to jump into a niche market.

“We had launched the company in Sept. 2012, not so long ago, and then the storm came. Not only being a lacrosse family and being heavily into the sport, we’re avid beach goers, I enjoy surfing, so do my kids, and I grew up in a coastal area in Delaware and spent a lot of time at the jersey shore,” Jay said. “When the storm came it hit a nerve, we asked what we could do to help, and it dawned on us that we could design these shorts and donate the profits to the relief effort. It became very popular.”

The company launched the shorts on its website just a few weeks after the hurricane and immediately began to sell them far faster than they could be made, Jay said.

Mesh Lacrosse had to stop selling the special shorts on Nov. 19 in order to ensure that they could be shipped out to customers by Christmas, Jay said, but has since reopened its sales and the shorts can be purchased at the company’s website.

“We don’t have a cutoff date this time, it’s taken on a life of its own and it took us in a different direction because it was such a big hit. I think right now we’re going to let it flow and the orders continue to come in day by day. We’ll probably just make it a regular item in our inventory,” he said.

Mesh Lacrosse has partnered with Ruff Lax in Maple Shade and sells merchandise there as well.
