The Love All Tennis Marathon Charity Fundraiser Event is on again; and it’s for another extremely worth cause. This year it is Family Life.
Family Life has been working with vulnerable children, families, and communities since 1970. At the core of our organisation is our vision to build capable communities, strong families and thriving children.
Everyone is welcome to come along and there is no cost to enter!
From 6pm Friday the 2nd February to 6pm Saturday the 3rd February six committed Tennis players, Paul Claxton, Kevin Melville, Jason Clark, Matilda Tench, Janine Olivier, and Olivia Moir will be wielding their rackets non-stop to raise funds Family Life.
We are also delighted that the Squash players are also once again getting fully involved in this marathon arranging a not to be missed set of exhibition matches as they did last year. This was sold out in under an hour last year so don’t miss out!
Last year’s event was an outstanding success. Once again, I very much trust that we can get behind this fantastic endeavour!
How can you help raise funds?
Book yourself and a partner to challenge two of the players or split them up and partner with one each for $50 each in a half hour slot along the way, and have a heap of fun!
