I’m writing to express my appreciation to the members of the Baylor tennis team. Last weekend, the team hosted a fundraiser for Siskin Children’s Institute. These promising young men and women skipped a Saturday morning of sleeping in and/or playing in the snow, and instead volunteered their free time to offer a charity tennis clinic for members of the Chattanooga community. All of the proceeds were donated to the Siskin Children’s Institute.
Hat’s off to the coaches who originated the idea: Ned Caswell, Jason Tipton and Kevin Donovan. And kudos to the student athletes who took the idea and executed it perfectly. I would like to recognize them by name, as they truly deserve accolades for their sportsmanship and philanthropy: Margaret Berdy, Sara Catherine Bradshaw, Ensley Collins, Mercedes Cuevas, Wade Donovan, Claudia Finlay, Helen Guerry, Samantha Kate Helton, Agda Laakso, Jessica Lance, Claire McOmie, Amelia Ohlsson, Natalie Puchalski, Ellie Smith and Matthew Templeton.
They coached with excellent sportsmanship as they made every participant feel welcome. The event reflects very well on their school and their coaching staff.
