DANCE AND TENNIS AT FAMILY DAY IN LOS CABOS
- The Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo celebrated the second edition of the Family Day in Los Cabos.
- The activity is part of the social responsibility actions that have become a priority for the tournament.
Los Cabos, August 2, 2023.- As part of the social responsibility program Play for All of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo, the second edition of the Family Day was successfully held, a project 100% focused and designed to help the community of Los Cabos. Local families in vulnerable economic situations were invited to a day of learning and fun.
Around 100 children and 70 mothers gathered at the Cabo Sports Complex (CSC) for a morning full of activities aimed at getting out of the routine of their daily lives, as well as enriching their development and providing essential information on health, education and sports.
The activity included tennis clinics for the children, between the ages of 2 and 14, who attended, among whom were also invited children from the DIF’s children’s home. There were talks for mothers on respectful parenting and nutrition, as well as a medical module for a general check-up, free haircuts and of course dance classes.
“I come to practice Zumba, I come to dance and rest,” commented Mari Cruz, one of the mothers present from the Santo Niño Doctor Church in the Taste community, who arrived very excited and assured that one of her sons was very interested in learning tennis, since at the moment he only practices basketball.
While the seventh edition of the tournament is underway, for Geoffrey Fernandez, its director, Family Day is the most important thing, as they seek to leave a legacy through sports in the destination.
“On a personal note the social responsibility program is the most important. When we brought the children from the children’s home and made their day, seeing that happiness, is what leaves the biggest impression. Our staff has been infected and is thrilled to have this type of activity. If we have all this, we have an obligation to give.“
It was a day completely designed for the children and their mothers. The families did not miss out on the various services that were provided on a voluntary basis and with the support of the government. The medical care brigade allowed attendees to have access to a laboratory, dental service, medical consultation, electrocardiogram, mammography and an optician’s office, free of charge. While the youngest children also enjoyed a storytelling and painting workshop.
“We live together and give the best that the company has to vulnerable families. For example, talks on nutrition, savings and family relationships. Of everything that happens during the week, this is what fills me the most. We are a great event, but what interests me most is being able to share these great moments with everyone,” concluded Geoffrey Fernandez.
