Short Story
The Hilton College Tennis club will be gathering to serve more than just aces. Led by passionate tennis players across the school, the team is launching a 24-hour tennisthon for Thembelihle campaign to raise funds to introduce tennis to learners at Thembelihle School, an independent school that provides quality education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds in the villages surrounding the Howick region.
From Friday, 1st August to Saturday, 2nd August, the boys will take to the courts for 24 hours of non-stop tennis to raise funds for tennis nets, balls, and rackets that will help open the door to tennis as a sport for Thembelihle learners.
This initiative is about more than just equipment. It’s about giving the learners at Thembelihle the opportunity to engage in physical activity and to experience the joy, discipline, and growth that comes with playing sport. The boys are uniting not just for the love of the game, but for the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
Every contribution, big or small, helps bring tennis to life for children who deserve the opportunity to thrive.
