Two members of the varsity tennis team embrace in joyful anticipation of the Bearathon.

To raise money for the tennis program, the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams will be playing matches in the Menlo-Atherton Bearathon.

The fourth annual Bearathon will be held Saturday, April 24^th, from 1 to 6 pm on the Stanford University varsity tennis courts, one of the only available venues to hold the expected 70-100 players.

Students on the teams will have sponsors to donate money, and the funds will be going towards improving the tennis grove’s tables, and sheds.

Players spend most of the day playing “mixed up doubles,” which are matches where players who wouldn’t normally play together from the boys, girls, frosh-soph, and varsity teams get paired up. The day finishes off with parents serving a potluck dinner.

Everyone is encouraged to come support the hard working athletes and the tennis program.
