Tennis CBR Cares: 70s Markus Gibson-Huck 70s Dinner Dance

The Tennis Canberra family demonstrated why we are more than a simple tennis academy. A handful of coaches, competition supervisors and friends got our boogie on for a good cause. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation better known as JDRF targets the well-being and the research of Type 1 diabetes.

For those that don’t understand the difference between Type 1 & 2 diabetes, Type 1 cannot be prevented and usually diagnosed at a young age. Type 2 diabetes is preventable however it has been more focal in the last decade as the rise obesity and poor lifestyle changes are the predominant reason for the rise of Type 2.

Consequently, I believe more needs to be done in promoting the Type 1 disease as there is no cure and an answer through constant research and support would change the world of a kid with Type 1 and give parents who have to worry 24/7 some peace of mind.

On behalf of the Tennis Canberra Family, I would like to personally thank and congratulate the JDRF Development Coordinator for the ACT & Regional NSW and Tennis Canberra friend Mel Eveille for a letting us be part of this fantastic event and letting us help your cause. We all had a great time and chuffed our donation of tennis lessons go for more than it’s worth in the silent auctioned. We are (Richie & I) over-the-moon with the signed Canberra Raiders Jersey too. Until next year!

Support Program: Send Saskia to France

Win a Head Extreme Racket (Richard Gasquet’s racquet of choice)

On the 16th of May, 2015 The Kozlow family will be heading to Nice, France. Saskia our 11-year-old tennis junior will be representing the Tennis Canberra family at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy (ISP). Her training will include full time on-court workouts, private lessons (3) from the best coaches in the world plus a tennis experience that could change her life. Although this may seem like an exciting opportunity it does come at a cost. Without sponsors her parents Hayden and Jenny have personally invested a lot to make this happen. We would love to help Saskia as we know talent can only go so far and without support and structure from the greater community. For that reason, the next 2 weeks the Tennis Canberra team will be selling raffle tickets with all profits going towards Saskia and the Kozlow family.

Tickets are $5 each and you have the chance to win a brand new Head Extreme Racket (MP or lite – depending on what suits you) which retails at $330 AUD. This Racket is used by Richard Gasquet (and Coach Robbie). The raffle will be drawn Saturday the 16th at 11am by Saskia herself. The winner will be announced on our Facebook Page and notified by email and phone.

Target Goal: 60 tickets: $300 | Tickets Sold: 72: $360

Post project: On behalf of Tennis Canberra and the Kozlow family we would like to thank the Canberra Community for supporting this ‪#‎TennisCBRCares‬ Support Program. We successfully raised $360 for young Saskia, our raffle was drawn and the winners are posted below.
