‘Kel Strong’ Foundation Tennis Day

The Annual

A day of fun, and fundraising for a cause.

As part of The ‘Kel Strong’ Mabatah Foundation’s fundraising initiative, we established The Annual 'Kel Strong' Mabatah Foundation Tennis Day Charity Event, held every year at Kel's Hill, Kinkaid School.

2023 Tennis Day Recap

This years event raised over $15,000 putting the foundation’s total fundraising over $100,000 since inception in 2020. We were blessed to have several of our ‘Kel Strong’ Scholarship Recipients at the event to meet and thank all the volunteers and ‘Kel Strong’ supporters. We look forward to the 4th Annual ‘Kel Strong’ Foundation Tennis Day next year!

Thank you to all the participants and volunteers who made our 3rd Annual ‘Kel Strong’ Foundation Tennis Day such a successful event! This would not be possible without our participants, generous sponsors, people that weren’t able to make it but still donated to our cause, and The Kinkaid School for opening their facilities to host our annual event. It was an amazing day of tennis and it was great to see everyone and their families come out and support the foundation’s commitment to help traumatic brain injury survivors and their families with their journey to recovery.

Where It Started

The first annual ‘Kel Strong’ Mabatah Foundation Tennis day, held on Saturday, November 13, 2021 that was hosted at The Kinkaid School’s tennis courts at Kel’s Hill, was a very successful event! The weather that day was perfect, we had a great turnout for our inaugural fundraiser event (over 40 participants), and we raised a lot of money that’s going to help a lot of people and their families impacted by traumatic brain injuries (close to $40,000)!

Two Years and Counting…

Our 2nd Annual ‘Kel Strong’ Mabatah Foundation Tennis Day Charity Event was held at The Kinkaid School’s Tennis Courts at Kel’s Hill on November 12, 2022! The ‘Kel Strong’ Foundation would like to thank all the sponsors and everyone who came out and participated in supporting our cause. It was from our sponsors to those who played, and others who couldn’t make it but still contributed to our cause that we raised over $20,000 from this event alone. 

Thank You To Our Sponsors Throughout The Years!
