The 7th Annual Tennis Fundraiser hosted by Make Our Schools Safe raised an impressive $70,000 to support critical school safety initiatives.
The event brought the community together for a day of tennis matches, raffles, shopping, and lunch, all of which aimed to foster safer schools for students and staff.
