Commack High Tennis Tournament Raises Money to Fight Multiple Sclerosis

The following article and photos were submitted by Commack High student Jason Gerber:

On Saturday June 7, I organized a mixed doubles tennis tournament for multiple sclerosis. My aunt was stricken with this disease and passed away when I was a one year old. 

I wanted to figure out a way to incorporate tennis into a community service project to raise money for multiple sclerosis. So far, I raised over $800, which will all be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

There were two different brackets in my tournament, divided up by age. The winners of the young division were Drew Gordon and Emma Matz. The winners of the older division were Cory Seltman and Jackie Inzalaco. 

I would like to thank Grand Slam Tennis for making a generous donation towards a basket to raffle off. I look forward to possibly organizing a similar event next year.
