LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – NFL offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif of the Kansas City Chiefs will make an appearance at the Bolo Bash® Tennis Tournament on April 15 to help the Baptist Health Foundation continue their goal to improve the health of young Arkansans. Duvernay-Tardif is not only an NFL starter but also studying to become a doctor and is passionate about promoting healthy lifestyles for youth.
Money raised by the foundation’s Bolo Bash® Tennis Tournament, April 7-15, will go to the Healthy & Active Youth Program. This is a free program at Baptist Health for youth ages 11 to 17 and includes nutrition classes, food demonstrations and training with exercise specialists. The beneficiary of the tennis tournament aligns perfectly with Duvernay-Tardif’s mission of changing young lives.
