Danielle SmithFOUNDERI am so proud of the fun our team creates for the kids but at the same time we provide enormous benefits where kids learn all the basic skills so they can be active and healthy for life. They participate on a team, playing matches each week and learn amazing life skills that will change their lives in such a positive way. There is not a better combination that provides, physical, social, intellectual and emotional well being!
In order to run these amazing programs we rely on donations, sponsorship and grants. They are all extremely important in helping us change the lives of kids one community at a time. Please help us by providing the support we need to continue this amazing programming. Donations can be made through Canada Helps on this website. For every $50 donated a child receives valuable life skills, tennis lessons, team tennis, and an opportunity to become healthy and active for life. Physical activity plays a major role in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, in helping with stress management and improving self esteem. |
