Newport, RI
The Preservation Foundations longstanding support of Court Tennis in Newport continues with a partnership with the International Tennis Hall of Fame to bolster activity at the National Tennis Club.
From the current Charleston Court Tennis Project and the development of the new Westwood CC Court in Vienna VA, to the restoration of courts in Boston, Philadelphia and Newport, the Foundation works alongside donors and clubs to improve the condition and quality of courts throughout the country.
“The USCTPF is the cornerstone for the growth and development of Tennis in the United States. In addition to being the primary group promoting new courts in the U.S., the Foundation actively funds and supports programming for a multitude of groups within the game. Having been both a beneficiary of such programs and a director of programming, I feel uniquely qualified to speak about the Foundation's success. The future of Tennis in the United States will be closely correlated with the strength of the USCTPF.”
