About:
The Hills East Girls Varsity Tennis Team has gone beyond the game to make a powerful statement for important causes. Recently, the team wore yellow laces as “hair ties” during a match to support Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, showing their commitment to raising awareness for young cancer patients. In another match, they donned wristbands and used teal and purple overgrips on their racquets in support of Suicide Prevention Month, further emphasizing their dedication to making a difference on and off the court.
By blending their passion for tennis with these important awareness campaigns, the team demonstrates the power of sports to drive change and foster community engagement. Their actions highlight the importance of standing up for causes that affect so many people and inspire others to join in raising awareness.
These initiatives are a perfect example of how athletes can leverage their platform to bring attention to critical issues. The Hills East Tennis Team is setting an inspiring example for others to follow, showing that small actions can make a big impact.
