About the Teen Ambassador Program
The Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer’s Teen Ambassador Program (TAP) is designed to engage high school students with the Foundation’s patient families, furthering AHF's mission to erase the effects of pediatric cancer. The Hit It for Hatch series was created by teen ambassadors who share a love for sports, as a creative way for kids and adults to get involved in a good cause, fundraise and bring more awareness to the work of the Austin Hatcher Foundation.
Tennis Tournament
The tennis event is a doubles up/down format, but no need to bring a partner, as you will be changing partners throughout the event. Prizes will be awarded to the overall winners of each flight.
Sand Volleyball Tournament
Coed quad teams (aged 13 and up) will play in round robin pool play in the morning leading to single-elimination bracket play in the afternoon. There will be opportunities to play games and win door prizes throughout the day.
Pickleball Tournament

How did Hit It For Hatch Start?
The Teen Ambassador Program works alongside the Austin Hatcher Foundation in creating a way to allow teens in the community to be more involved in serving others. Out of this group, several ambassadors were inspired to take on the task of starting a fundraiser in 2023 for the Austin Hatcher Foundation, known as the Hit It For Hatch Tennis Tournament. This tournament, created by ambassadors who share a love for tennis, was a creative way for kids and adults to be involved in a good cause, as well as bring more awareness to the work of the Austin Hatcher Foundation. In 2024, the Teen Ambassadors hosted the inaugural Hit It For Hatch Series - consisting of a Tennis, Pickleball, and Volleyball Tournament.
