Initiatives
SUPPORTING THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
As of March 2019, we funded a grant to provide tennis programming at Boys & Girls Clubs in Martin and St. Lucie Counties. In St Lucie, the Boys & Girls Club received a cash grant along with rackets donated by the community and balls donated through a partnership with Wilson. Kids in the after-school or summer programs are now able to learn and participate in the game of a lifetime.
SUPPORTING THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE GAME
In Martin County we are proud to support Lynn & Steve Frank who have honored the community for many years by teaching tennis in underserved communities. TCTF offers continuous support of their work by providing supplies and equipment including donated rackets.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS TENNIS SCHOLARSHIP
The TCTF will award annually two $1000 scholarships to one to a senior boy and one to a senior girl—who have demonstrated excellence to their team, in their school and in their community. Excellence is measured by a combination of athletics, leadership, academics and community service. Applicants must be current registered students in good standing at any one of the local Treasure Coast Area High Schools, be a member of the boy’s varsity tennis team, be a high school senior, plan to attend an accredited college or university and submit a completed application packet. Qualified students are asked to submit a short application and a typed essay of 450-500 words explaining how their involvement in tennis has impacted their life. Also required is a completed recommendation (in the form attached) from the senior’s tennis coach, a high school faculty member or other third party.
SEND A KID TO CAMP
"Send a Kid to Camp" provides tennis summer camp enrollment at no cost for families identified by need. Fill out the form attached for consideration. (Application For Summer Camp Assistance.pdf)

Beneficiaries are identified on an on-going basis. Contact us for information.
