SquashCares, a non-profit corporation, was started by Sydney Soloway, an avid squash player and a senior at the Dana Hall School in Wellesley, MA. SquashCares uses the sport of squash to help make the world a better place. Currently, they have two programs that leverage squash. They collect dead squash balls and create ball blankets for people with ADHD and autism. They also collect used squash equipment and distribute it to urban squash programs.
Please join SquashCares on April 21st from 11:00 AM- 3:30 PM (for any duration of time) in the Dana Hall School fencing studio. They will be recycling squash balls out of the waste stream at their fourth annual ball blanket sewing event. These blankets will be donated to organizations who service hundreds of people with autism and/or other developmental disabilities.
