CYTF 2020 Cindy McLemore

Incentive Fund

Amount: $2500

Provided By: Anonymous Donor

Details: Putting a tennis racket in the hands of a kid can change their life! It costs the CYTF about $50 to outfit a youngster with basic tennis equipment. Will you help me get more rackets in the hands of kids? I have a donor who will match the first $2500 in funds that I raise. If we can get 200 people to donate $25 (or more if you are able!) we could supply about 100 rackets to kids! Any amount you are able to give is an investment in our youth. Tennis provides so many things to each of the kids we are able to help and the benefits and lessons they learn through tennis serves them well throughout their lives! Thanks for your consideration and support!

Summary

As many of you know, I have been actively involved with The Colorado Youth Tennis Foundation since 2013. As a life-long player who has experienced so much good through tennis, it is an organization that is near and dear to my heart. My mother taught me to play when I was 6 years old because she needed someone to hit with! She had to give up tennis in her late 70s and it was the hardest thing for her. Giving a child the opportunity to learn to play a life-time sport, along with its attendant benefits like sportsmanship, respect, honesty, health, compassion and fairness is a gift that you will never regret. Please help me provide the gift of tennis to our Colorado kids who might never get to learn to play without our financial assistance.
