A Heartfelt Thank You from the Court
This past Saturday was nothing short of amazing! The courts were buzzing with energy as tennis lovers from across the area came together not just to compete, but to give back. The West Palm Tennis Tournament brought out fierce rallies, plenty of smiles, and a whole lot of heart — all to support the critically ill kids in the Casey Cares Foundation. With fun flight names inspired by tennis greats and a true sense of community spirit, players brought their best game and their biggest hearts.

Heart of the Tournament – Ryder’s Story
Among all the amazing energy on the courts, one incredible child from the Casey Cares program reminded us exactly why this day mattered. Ryder Hinds, a bright and resilient 9-year-old, was the heart of the event. Diagnosed with Short Bowel Syndrome at birth on December 9, 2015, Ryder’s journey has included countless challenges and courageous moments. Despite his diagnosis, Ryder continues to enjoy special Casey Cares experiences, including recent trips to a Miami Marlins game, Disney On Ice, and a Ft. Myers Mighty Mussels game.
Meeting Ryder in person brought an unforgettable reminder to our participants of the impact their support has on the lives of families facing medical hardships.
