FIGHT FOR VICTORY, FIGHT FOR A CURE:
Wesleyan's tennis teams held a "Rally for the Cure" Oct. 10 at the
Wesleyan tennis courts. The
men’s and women’s tennis teams dedicated their season to the Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and raised awareness, fostered education
and raised funds for the cause.
Pictured are, from left wearing red and
black, Ania Preneta
'09 and Alexandria Sirois '09, playing Connecticut College during the day-long rally.
Emily Fish '09, wearing pink, is pictured in the back court. |

Madalina Ursu '09 offers a breast-cancer awareness packet to a
Connecticut College opponent. At every home
and away match, each player would dedicate his or her match in honor of or in
memory of someone who had or has cancer and offer the gift to the
opposing team. |

prizes and a silent auction. All proceeds went to the Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation. |

president and secretary of the university, read literature about the

tennis teams continue to accept donations for the cause. For more
