It is the one and only time both players and their families work hand-in-hand, and it is absolutely amazing to watch,\u201d said head varsity coach Chris Polanski. \u201cIt serves as a great team builder that forges our program, which is already very tight, even closer together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mulch Madness co-coordinator Kristina Greco, who has two sons on the team, said deliveries are made to about 600 residents of Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe amount of teamwork by parents, coaches and our boys both in the weeks leading up to the event, as well as the weekend, is truly exceptional,\u201d she said. \u201cThe boys are doing this during their season, with injuries and tired bodies taking a backseat to the work needed to be completed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greco said that Penske trucks are rented to make deliveries directly to homes and businesses. Parents also use their own trucks when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five different types of bagged mulch are sold by the team, and the PGA Tour provides an empty lot to stage the event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team will place the bags wherever instructed by customers and work from 7 a.m. until 5 or 6 p.m. to get the job done all weekend, she said. All money earned goes towards the program for travel expenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greco said that she and the team are grateful to the repeat customers of Mulch Madness over the years, adding that the team could not achieve state championship level lacrosse without the community support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orders are currently being accepted until March 6 and delivery will be March 23 \u2013 24.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To place an order, go to Pvlax.com\/mulch-madness or visit https:\/\/pvlax.com\/mulch-madness\/buy mulch\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo courtesy Kristina Greco&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ponte Vedra boys\u2019 lacrosse players working the Mulch Madness weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tiffany Merlo Phelps\u00a0mail@floridanewsline.com The 15th annual Mulch Madness fundraiser is underway, and the Ponte Vedra High boys\u2019 lacrosse team stands ready to serve the community by hand delivering 16,000 bags of mulch during two days in March.&nbsp; \u201cMulch Madness is one of my favorite weekends of the year.
