Tony Tennis Family Week raising funds for hospital
“As a way to raise money for the hospital, I am inviting all students who attend their weekly tennis lesson to invite grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters to an open day on Sunday, June 23, 10am-2pm,” tennis coach and manager, Tony Podesta, said.
“For every family who supports the week by coming to watch a game of tennis, I will donate $5 a family to the hospital. The child will also receive a free gift from the Tony Tennis family.”
Tony is also inviting all students to attend a free player evaluation where he will assess their current level.
“At the same time, students who do not attend lessons, will be invited for a free trial lesson. For every child who attends on the day, an additional $2 per child will be donated.”
Adults can take part in a cardio tennis workout the day, 12-1pm, followed by a parent/child tournament, 1-2pm, with Tony again donating $2 a player.
“Even if the parent doesn’t play tennis, I am running it as a ‘hotshot’ tournament where they can play across the court on a mini-net,” Tony explained.
“This is the 30th year I’ve been operating my coaching school and I like to support two charities a year; last year it was Sydney Children’s Hospital and Aussie farmers. This year, I am taking it to a new level by having a fundraising page on the Bandaged Bear website.
“I have already raised $500 and am aiming for $1,000 so I hope all the local families will get behind the day and help support a great cause.”
