‘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.

2024 Tennis Day Recap

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of our 4th Annual ‘Kel Strong’ Foundation Tennis Day Charity Event! This unforgettable day brought together a vibrant community of participants, families, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters—all united by a shared mission to raise awareness and funds for individuals recovering from life-changing traumatic brain injuries.

The event was filled with excitement, inspiration, and heartwarming moments. From engaging tennis matches to moving speeches, every moment highlighted the power of resilience, hope, and unity. Attendees had the chance to witness firsthand the strength and determination of those we support, reminding us all why this cause is so important.

Thanks to the overwhelming support and generosity of our community, this year’s event set a new record with a remarkable turnout and raised over $50,000—our largest fundraising milestone from a single event to date, putting the foundation’s total fundraising over $150,000 since inception in 2020! These funds will directly support our 2025 ‘Kel Strong’ Scholarship Campaign in partnership with TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation and the Memorial Hermann Foundation, allowing us to continue empowering individuals affected by brain injuries around the world.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our amazing participants, dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and The Kinkaid School for graciously hosting us. Your unwavering support made this event not only possible but truly extraordinary.

Together, we are making a lasting impact, proving that with determination, community, and hope, anything is possible!

We can’t wait to see you all again next year for another day of tennis, inspiration, and making a difference!

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)!
