A huge thank you from the Whistler Tennis Association to all the local businesses that supported our silent auction fundraiser. There’s a lot of support in the community to “Save Whistler’s Racket Club.” The current proposal for developing 4500 Northlands Blvd. eliminates the existing racket club with no plans to replace it.
All three Whistler golf courses donated a round for a foursome. Whistler Racket Club (WRC) management donated several items, from Combo Camps and dinners to tennis/pickleball lessons. Altitude Fitness donated several gym passes. The list of local contributors is long: Cycle Whistler, the Whistler Sliding Centre, Whistler Wellness, Magic Clean, Sally John Physiotherapy, Michael D’Artois, Lynda Harnish, and Robin Brown.
A special thanks to the Sea to Sky Pickleball Club who invited us to set up the auction tables at their July 1 pickleball tournament. The tournament was a great success with close to 200 competitors. Last but not least, thanks to the WRC staff who helped organize the auction.
Please join the more than 2,400 WRC supporters and sign the petition to “Save Whistler’s Racket Club” at change.org/SavetheWRC.
