THE CAUSE

Setting Up A Bright Future

• Increased emphasis on youth programming, with the intent to develop a Tennis & Education Program in Newport, utilizing tennis as tool for teaching life skills to at risk youth.

• Taking tennis history outside the walls of the museum through an extensive digitization project and subsequent development of digital programming.

• Capturing the inspiring stories of the Hall of Famers through an Oral History video project.

As one of our most impactful fundraisers, The Legends Ball is vital to the ITHF’s ability to grow and to be a positive force in the tennis world – on and off the court. A recently completed $15 million capital campaign resulted in a completely renovated museum, new tennis facilities in Newport named for the Hall of Famers, and an improved stadium. We are eager to build on this momentum and have a clear vision for where we can grow in our mission in the future. Your support of The Legends Ball can help these goals come to fruition.
