The Western Kenosha County Tennis Association will be hosting its annual 24-hour tennis fundraiser event “Rally for Life,” with proceeds to benefit The American Cancer Society of Kenosha County and The Sharing Center. This 24-hour event will take place on Friday, July 28 starting at 1 p.m. through Saturday, July 29 at 1 p.m. at the Central High School Tennis Courts.
The WKCTA is looking to keep a tennis ball going back and forth over the net for 24 hours while also raising funds for the American Cancer Society of Kenosha County and collecting “back-to-school” items for the Sharing Center.
Currently, WKCTA is seeking participants for the Rally; it is free to participate. Visit www.wkcta.com for more information and how to register to be a Rally Participant. Participants are asked to bring any of the following “Back To School” items to be donated to the Sharing Center or provide a monetary donation for the American Cancer Society of Kenosha. “Back To School” items needed by the Sharing Center: Full size back packs, paper and notebooks and pens and pencils. Most needed items this year are: New shoes (or a Payless gift card), large pink erasers, glue (sticks & bottles), and markers (8 or 10 pk).
WKCTA is also currently seeking cancer survivors or those currently battling to participate in a ceremony starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 1.
During the 24 hour event there will be a number of tennis and non tennis activities for everyone. You can join the fun anytime during the 24 hours.
