Help Families Affected by Childhood Cancer.

Coming Soon.

The Austin Hatcher Foundation's community-based health and education program teaches and empowers positive health behaviors and wellness for the entire family.

‍

Fueling Potential: Racing to Win is a fun, interactive lesson designed to equip children with the knowledge necessary to make healthy lifestyle choices and cultivate well-being, while reducing their risk of cancer later in life.

‍

The Austin Hatcher Foundation’s Fueling Potential: Racing to Win Healthy Lifestyle Program helps children reach their greatest potential in the “Race of Life'' by training them to choose only the finest fuel (nutritious foods), to keep their cars running well (exercise), and keep their car clean (sun safety). The program helps to ensure that children live happy and active lives today, while reducing their risk of cancer tomorrow.

Out of this group, several ambassadors were inspired to take on the task of starting a fundraiser in 2023 for the Austin Hatcher Foundation, known as the Hit It For Hatch Tennis Tournament. This tournament, created by ambassadors who share a love for tennis, was a creative way for kids and adults to be involved in a good cause, as well as bring more awareness to the work of the Austin Hatcher Foundation.

​

In 2024, the Teen Ambassadors created the inaugural Hit It For Hatch Series - consisting of a Tennis, Pickleball, and Volleyball Tournament! The Tennis and Pickleball Tournaments have already happened and the ambassadors are currently anticipating their Volleyball Tournament taking place on July 27, 2024 at XSV Volleyball.
