Teen Ambassador Fundraising Series: Hit It For Hatch
The Teen Ambassadors at the Austin Hatcher Foundation took their passion for sports and community service to the next level by creating the "Hit It for Hatch" fundraising series. Launched three years ago, this initiative started as a small event and has since grown into a multi-sport series featuring Pickleball, Tennis, and Sand Volleyball. Each year, more participants join in the fun, raising awareness and funds to support families facing pediatric cancer. Through their dedication and creativity, the Teen Ambassadors have transformed "Hit It for Hatch" into a signature event that continues to make a significant impact in the community.
