Thanks to everyone for Tennis-Thon help

I would personally like to thank the community of Medical Lake and also the West Plains for the support they gave for the 16-hour Tennis-Thon. This is definitely a giving community.

Prize winners included Molly Ryan for a stay at the Hampton Inn, Dallon Bogart for the fastest serve contest, Max Nelson for the bouncing ball contest, Mackenzie Small and Thomas Robinson for the tennis racket raffle. The Tennis-Thon raised $3,500 in donations for the Medical Lake Food Bank and Medical Lake Outreach, and also to help support the local boys and girls' tennis program.
