This year, your support is especially meaningful. FBA dollars directly enhance our team\u2019s experience\u2014covering 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givecampus.com\/campaigns\/32543\/donations\/new?designation=womensandmenssquash&amp;a=10849626\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make a gift<\/a><\/strong>, please select <strong>Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s Squash<\/strong> as your designation.
