Making a Racket at McFetridge…


YPB Host Tennis Tournament – Proceeds Benefit CCIL Homeless Families

CCIL’s Young Professionals Board (YPB), a group of dynamic professionals who share a passion for helping others, made a racket at the McFetridge Sports Center Saturday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th by hosting a men’s and women’s tennis tournament in a gallant effort to raise awareness and funds for CCIL, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring families affected by poverty and homelessness. More than 30 people participated in the event which brought in at least $1,500.

“I’m very grateful to everyone who participated in this event and to the McFetridge Sports Center for providing such a wonderful venue! As CCIL approaches its Centennial in 2009, events like this are key in helping educate people about our mission. I want to especially thank YPB member Aaron Green for his drive and making this event possible,” said CCIL Executive Director Judy McIntyre, who was integral in launching the YPB in February 2006.

1st place trophies were awarded in the following categories:
*Women’s Open Singles – Deepa Popuri
*Women’s Open Doubles – Bridgit Maile and Hilerie Sher
*Men’s Open Singles – Dan Menchik
*Men’s Open Doubles – Robert Kallen and Larry Mann
*Mixed Open Doubles – Deepa Popuri and Cesar Uribe

The YPB is empowered to increase awareness, encourage involvement and financial support, advance program initiatives and amplify the success of CCIL. Contact ypbinfo@ccilworks.org to learn more about becoming a member of the YPB
