The Mifel Tennis Open supports the community of Los Cabos
The ATP 250 Los Cabos announces the ATC Cares social program, which focuses on the welfare and development of the community of Los Cabos. The Mifel Tennis Open joins forces with the Becar Foundation to contribute to the development of education in the destination.
Los Cabos, B.C.S., August 3rd, 2022.- By promoting social impact projects, the Mifel Tennis Open seeks to integrate and generate a sense of community through sports, education, health, wellness and harmonious coexistence.
In commitment to the community through its social program, ATC Cares, seeks to promote different ideas and initiatives that benefit the communities of the tourist destination that hosts our tournament. The program has two central focuses on which the different initiatives are developed: help and
integration to the community.
Among the programs of direct aid to the community of Los Cabos we find three projects:
1- Donations in favor of education in alliance with the Becar Foundation. The Mifel Tennis Open will donate licenses of the Oxford platform, one of the most recognized in the English language. The atendees to the tournament, through a strong donation campaign, will be able to join the cause and together promote education in the destination.
All proceeds will go to the school “Fundación Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP)” located in San José Los Cabos.
This project is a long-term commitment so that year after year the Mifel Tennis Open can continue collaborating to improve the quality of education in Los Cabos. Mexican golfer Lorena Ochoa, as ambassador of the Becar Foundation, joins the project and will be the guest of honor to encourage communication and strengthen the campaign.
2- Family Day: the tournament welcomes low-income families from the most remote communities to the facilities and offers tennis clinics and entertainment for the children, as well as educational talks for parents.With the support of the local government, different services are offered to attendees, such as medical examinations, nutrition modules, mammograms, vaccinations and oral hygiene, as well as legal advice.
3- Community tennis court: The Mifel Tennis Open is committed on building a public tennis court for the community of Los Cabos. The “Tennis for All” project includes not only the construction of the court, but also the donation of equipment and the training of instructors. On the other hand, the projects of the ATC Cares program that seek integration with the community of Los Cabos are the following:
- Tennis Clinics in the Ciclovía Recreativa: Last Sunday in downtown Cabo San Lucas, mini tennis lessons were given to kids and parents who attended the Sunday stroll. Tournament organizers will donate racquets and balls so that the activity will continue every Sunday.
- Kids Day: The already well-known event whose main objective is to bring children closer to the so called white sport and have the opportunity to meet professional players in a family and entertainment environment.
- BallKids: This year the tournament invited teens and young people from Los Cabos and surrounding cities to participate as goalkeepers in the matches, as a way of encouraging them to practice sports and physical activity.
These social responsibility iniciatives are a priority for the Mifel Tennis Open and through these important actions it reaffirms its ongoing commitment to the community of Los Cabos and Mexico
