My Story…
Organized sports provide mental, emotional, social and physical health benefits such as, lower rates of anxiety and depression, higher self-esteem, less substance abuse, increased life satisfaction, improved bone and weight health, and the list could go on! In my role at Fred Wells Tennis and Education Center, I get the opportunity to see these results first hand. Our after-school programming at Folwell Community School, Bancroft Elementary School, Andersen Middle School, Urban Academy Charter School, Sullivan STEAM School, and Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities Magnet School allows students to get active, develop new connections, and practice social and emotional learning skills. Undoubtedly, our services have been necessary for our unique students especially throughout COVID, the teacher strike, and social justice movements these past few years.
You have the influence to be part of the paramount outcomes we see in our community! In order to nurture and grow our programs, we seek donors and corporate support to ensure all our offerings are provided at no cost for our students. In other words, your support pays for transportation, food, classroom and tennis supplies, tennis class scholarships, court time, and staffing. As you consider a donation, know your support helps immensely at any level!
$50 - Pizza Party for 1 after-school group
$100 – 10 new racquets for our students
$250 – Healthy snacks for one season
$500 – Equipment pack for 1 off-site location
$1,000 - 5 weeks of coaching at 1 after-school site (2x/week)
$2,500 – Transportation for 10 sessions of after-school tennis at The Fort
All of this would not be possible without the generous donations and support from all of our staff and volunteers. I sincerely hope you choose to be part of this amazing community by donating and encouraging a healthy and fun lifestyle for our students.
USTA Northern will match donations up to $1,000! Donations go through USTA Northern first and a final check will be issued to Fred Wells Tennis and Education Center to support our foundation.
Thank you for your support.
Best,
Coco Bernard
