A grant has been awarded to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Neuroblastoma Research Program in honor of Lyla

Theoharides. The Duxtucket Paddle Babes Giving Circle, a

group of avid platform tennis players from Duxbury and

Nantucket, raised the funds for this grant after a successful

PaddleTennis weekend in Nantucket this January.

The weekend event has taken place for over thirty years and

last year, the group decided to establish a Giving Circle to

enhance their group activity. The group approached the

Community Foundation for Nantucket to create a fund to add

a charitable component to their annual competitive weekend.

After two meetings of the Duxtucket Paddle Babes Giving

Circle, this year the group decided to make a grant. The

interests and opinions of the members were considered and

discussed, and it was determined that a donation to Dana-

Farber Cancer Institute Neuroblastoma Research Program in

honor of the niece of a long-time participant was a great way

to spend their charitable dollars.
