2019 Annual Report

From Donn Davis

Welcome to the page of our website that contains our 2019 Annual Report. With our mission of Changing Lives Through Tennis, we impact the health and welfare of tennis all over the state of Florida and it’s here that we provide more of the financial detail about how we accomplish that goal.

You’ll see that since the inception of our Foundation 15 years ago, we raised over $1.6 million to support our mission. In 2019 alone, we raised over $182,000, putting over 90% of it right back into our communities in the form of racquets, balls, & mini nets along with program and facility support.  This year also included hurricane relief for those affected by Hurricane Michael as well.

Our grant funds impacted over 2,800 program participants during 2019, individuals who may not have been exposed to tennis were it not for those grant funds. Take a look and if you have any questions, please let us know as we’re always happy to “talk tennis and tell the story” of our love for this great game!

2019 Year In Review

Orlando W.A.I.T. C League Teams Up with USTA Florida Section Foundation

Raises Record Funds for Parramore Tennis Program

For the first time in its history the Orlando-based Women’s Amateur Invitational Tennis (W.A.I.T.) C League partnered with the USTA Florida Section Foundation to raise a record $26,577 to support a local youth T.E.A.M. Junior Tennis program serving the Parramore community. The league, which includes nearly 600 women players, smashed its original goal of raising $15,000 to help bring the T.E.A.M. mission of “affecting the path of local youth in communities through academic tutoring, health and wellness education, family coaching and tennis instruction” to life within their hometown.
