The McLean Group is Proud to Sponsor the 2025 Bob Kemp Classic
The McLean Group was proud to sponsor the 2025 Bob Kemp Classic, a free community lacrosse event that brought together two powerhouse programs, Johns Hopkins University and Army, in honor of the late Bob Kemp, a legendary figure in the lacrosse community whose impact continues to inspire generations of athletes.
Held on Saturday, October 12, 2025, at Georgetown Preparatory School in Bethesda, MD, the day featured a highly competitive matchup, activities for kids, and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Several members of The McLean Group team and their families came out to enjoy the game, connect with the community, and support a great cause.
Importantly, the Classic is about more than lacrosse. All proceeds benefit a fund at the Washington Jesuit Academy, helping to provide quality education and opportunities for young men in Washington, DC. Supporting this cause reflects Bob Kemp’s enduring legacy of leadership, mentorship, and community spirit.
It was a great day filled with energy, camaraderie, and purpose, proof that when the lacrosse community comes together, good things happen both on and off the field. Learn more about the event and its mission at www.bobkemplacrosseclassic.com.
