BARRY SEGAL BECOMES NEWEST FOUNDATION PARTNER

Barry Segal approaches his philanthropic endeavors in the same way he tackled tasks as an entrepreneur – with focus, determination and dedication. He is approaching a decade of partnering with the USTA Foundation to serve up dreams to those in need, and last year he became the newest Foundation Partner after pledging to donate $250,000 over the course of the next three years.

His pledge will play a key role in helping the USTA Foundation meet its goal of raising $15 million in three years to serve an additional 50,000 under-resourced children with our programs nationwide.

Segal initially became involved with the USTA Foundation through attending sponsored events, galas and pro-ams. Moved by the mission and goals of the Foundation, he gradually became more involved with its campaign that brings tennis and education together to change lives. With his ongoing support, the Foundation will continue to provide resources and financial support to enhance education, wellness and social initiatives benefitting more than 225,000 children in 4,500 locations across the country.

Segal has touched many lives in many ways. As a father of six children and grandfather to 15, he has been a terrific provider. As a businessman, he helped roofing materials company Bradco Supply generate more than $1.9 billion in sales across 150 branches nationwide.

And as a philanthropist, he created the Segal Family Foundation to help community-based organizations utilize the localized knowledge needed to create sustainable change in their communities in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, Segal is the founder of Focus For Health (previously Focus Autism), where Segal and his team focus on finding the cause of autism, and creating a deep awareness of maternal and children’s health, immune health and other chronic illnesses.
