Dear USA Badminton, Tournament Director, Referee Team, Volunteers, NorCal Families, and all participating athletes, coaches, and parents from across the country—
To our renovation team HUAWELL, event photographer Peter, medical staff, club stringers, fellow badminton clubs, supportive landlords and neighbors, as well as all our friends and my family—

On behalf of CAN-AM ELITE Badminton Club, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your trust, support, and dedication throughout the 2025 Junior Selection Event.

After four intense and exhilarating days of competition, the tournament officially concluded on April 21. This event was not only a showcase of high-level athletic excellence, but also a journey marked by passion, teamwork, and the unyielding spirit of perseverance.

To all the unsung heroes working quietly behind the scenes—if your name isn’t mentioned here, please know that your contributions are genuinely appreciated and warmly remembered.

This marked the first time in nearly a decade that the Junior Selection Event was hosted in Northern California, and we are truly honored to have welcomed the nation’s best young athletes to our venue. It reaffirms our commitment to growing and supporting the sport of badminton across the United States.

We look forward to seeing you again at future tournaments—continuing this journey together, and celebrating the vibrant growth of U.S. badminton!

With heartfelt thanks,
Helen Hu
CAN-AM ELITE Badminton Club Management
