Select kids will also be chosen to participate in promotions between doubles and singles play and Sebastian the Ibis will be on hand for photo opportunities during the match.

UM’s three seniors – Caren Seenauth, Romy Farah and Gina Sabatino – will also be honored prior to the group’s final regular season home match as Hurricanes.

Winners of the tennis camp raffle will be announced at the end of the match and those selected must be present to win.
