Cool Doctor Foundation

The rain doesn't stop these guys!  They are terrific and man does that smell good!

We are very hopeful that we will get matches on in the afternoon.  We will text/call with new times as we become more certain.  Thank you all for being such troopers and for supporting our scholarship funds.

As you know, we award a $1000 scholarship to a graduating senior at each of the area high schools. This year the Slidell tennis community and some fantastic, generous sponsors have made it possible for the Cool Doctor Foundation to award more than the usual one scholarship per school.

This is an appropriate year to do so because Christopher would have been a senior this year.  Many of his classmates, affected deeply by his death, have set their mind to fulfilling his dream to become a "Cool Doctor", the one who, as a nurse, doctor, researcher, or therapist, will be a lifeline to kids struggling with similar diseases.  Perhaps one will deliver the cure for rahbdomiasarcoma, which is what claimed his life.

I am proud of them, and happy and thankful that, as I read their essays, will not have to choose only one.

Thank you.
