Supporting the Program
As many of you know, last season was a challenging one with the coaching transition, and fundraising did not reach its full potential. This year, your support is especially meaningful. FBA dollars directly enhance our team’s experience—covering critical operational needs and making it possible for us to travel and recruit at top events, including the U.S. Open in December and Junior Nationals in March, both in Philadelphia.
We also want to provide the best experience possible for our players during competition. At Nationals this year, we hope to stay close to the Arlen Specter Center in Philadelphia, where the event takes place. Last season, the team had a great experience staying near the venue, and we know being close helps our players compete at their best.
If you would like to make a gift, please select Women’s and Men’s Squash as your designation. Thank you for being an important part of this journey.
