Once again, the annual Winter Chill Tennis Challenge at Raleigh Racquet Club was a great success! Participants not only had an entire evening of healthy family-friendly fun, but they also helped raise nearly $3,000 for WakeMed Children’s Hospital. Thank you to everyone that made it possible.
With almost 100 participants, the racquets were swinging and tennis balls were flying. Children aged 5 – 14 enjoyed Quick Start Mini Tennis, a fast-paced, scaled-down, non-competitive tennis for over 2 hours. Simultaneously, adult players (and some very talented teens) enjoyed friendly competition during the round robin tournament.
Participants, volunteers, and observers battled for winning bids during a silent auction which featured prizes ranging from a beachfront condo for a long weekend to tickets to the Winston-Salem Open to Build-A-Bears.
Dinner, prepared by Raleigh Racquet Club’s own Chef Jason, was designed to give players the energy they would need for an evening of exertion.
If you missed out on the fun and excitement this year be sure to attend the 2013 Winter Chill Tennis Challenge next year!
