In response to COVID-19, Campolindo High School sophomore Jake Hammerman founded Impactful Tennis, an organization where four varsity tennis players from local schools give tennis lessons to kids aged 7-13 with lesson fees going directly to local nonprofit, Meals on Wheels Diablo Region. According to the Impactful Tennis website, Meals on Wheels had experienced a 40% increase in meal requests due to the pandemic. They hope to raise $10,000 for the nonprofit.
"We are so honored to be chosen by Impactful Tennis as its charity of choice," said Caitlyn Sly, executive director of Meals on Wheels Diablo Region on the Impactful Tennis website. "It really means the world to us that the next generation of leaders is concerned about the challenges our elders face every day."
