Welcome to a Love of Tennis!Hello! I’m Danielle Smith, founder of A Love of Tennis.
I am so proud of the programs that our team has created for the kids. Through tennis, we have provided engaging activities that prioritize children’s physical, social, intellectual and emotional wellbeing. We look forward to the return of these programs once it is safe to do so. In the meantime, donations, sponsorship and grants are crucial. They provide the support we need to maintain the courts so that we can get kids playing tennis again. Our collective donations go a long way: With every $50, a child is given the opportunity to be part of a team. Teams practise together, play matches each week and learn core values that impact them in a positive way. The child leaves the program with a sense of belonging, as well as with important skills for leading an active and healthy life. We are totally committed this year for donations for the use of the courts. In addition, our new fundraising program is our spring collection of handmade bracelets.
