The Tennis-a-Thon is one of several important 3rd party fundraisers for Philpott Children’s tennis that make it possible to introduce tennis to over 4,000 inner-city kids annually who otherwise would not be able to afford a tennis program.
The donation from this event is being made in memory and celebration of Quinn Cammaert; and directed to Philpott’s new facility, the first of its kind, coming to the Jane-Finch neighbourhood in Winter 2023/24. The facility will mean we can provide important programming year-round, and at convenient times for kids and families. It will be at the kids’ doorstep, eliminating the need for long travel times and transportation. It will be filled with coaches, mentors, friends, and community members who are a champion for every kids’ success and well-being. We can’t wait to see it full of kids; it will change their lives.
The success of our Kids’ Tennis programs over the past thirty years, and achieving major milestones like the new facility project, is the result of hard work and continued donor support. These programs are possible thanks to individuals who, like you, wish to make a difference in the lives of thousands of kids living in priority neighbourhoods across Toronto.
TOGETHER, we are making sure there is A PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO PLAY……YEAR-ROUND!
