One of the best-kept secrets and hidden gems of Middle States is its charitable arm, the Middle States Tennis Patrons’ Foundation, Inc. The Patrons’ Foundation is best known for playing host to the section’s annual hall of fame dinner. But what it should be more widely known for is all of the grants and scholarships it provides to our junior programs and players.

As the Patrons’ Foundation board begins a new two-year term, we would like to share the background on the Patrons’ Foundation and how you can help support tennis in our section through charitable giving. The Patrons’ Foundation is no different from other wonderful nonprofits like the United Way, or the American Red Cross, and it is a real asset for our section to have its own charitable foundation.

The Middle States Tennis Patrons’ Foundation is the fundraising organization and 501 (c) (3) charitable arm of the Middle States Section. It was incorporated in 1973 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity. The Patrons’ Foundation is equipped to accept all forms of charitable gifts – cash, stock, appreciated assets and charitable bequests – and these contributions entitle the donor to tax advantages.

The Patrons’ Foundation has a very specific charge: to raise money for grants to tennis programs in the section. Patrons’ targets mainly junior players with need and emerging junior tennis programs across the section that need a little extra nudge to get up and running. Patrons’ is also exploring broadening grant usage to adult programs and court and tennis facility renovation.

Grants from the Patrons’ Foundation are made through the Middle States scholarships and grants committee, which reviews grant requests on a quarterly basis. Gifts to the Patrons’ Foundation help make up about 20 percent of these grants. The other 80 percent of the grant money comes from the section budget.

Junior players, Community Tennis Associations and others are encouraged to explore the grant opportunities we offer. Please visit ww.middlestates.usta.com and click on the left-hand tool bar under the Patrons’ Foundation for more information about the grants available. John Herbert Williamson (known as Jack to friends and family) was born Jan. 20, 1923, in Belfast, Northern Donors receive a tax deduction and avoid capital gains tax, and the Patrons’ and the section Ireland.

Tennis in the Streets

Tennis balls were flying all over Rodney Square in Wilmington, Del., in May 1,000 kids were treated to free tennis lessons in the middle of downtown’s busiest street. Eight mini-tennis courts were set up on Market Street with pros and volunteers feeding balls, hitting with youngsters, collecting balls, handing out prizes and getting kids on and off the courts. Delaware District and Middle States Pro of the Year, Greg Barkley (pictured) has been instrumental in the development of this great event.

Tennis in the Streets returns for the 14th year May 18, 2007.

USTA WHEELCHAIR TENNIS 0 0

Wheelchair tennis is one of the fastest growing and 7

most challenging of all wheelchair sports. To meet this demand, the USTA offers programs geared toward the wheelchair player. Y The rules are the same as stand-up e tennis, except that the wheelchair player a is allowed two bounces of the ball. r b Wheelchair tennis provides persons with disabilities the opportunity to share in o activities with their peers and family, o whether able-bodied or disabled. Playing k wheelchair tennis adds to socialization and the normalization of life after sustaining a disabling injury. Proficient wheelchair users can play and actively compete against stand-up players. A wheelchair tennis player must have a medically diagnosed, mobility-related disability, with a substantial or total loss of function in one or more extremities. In wheelchair tennis, the player must master the game and the wheelchair. Learning mobility on the court is exciting and challenging, and helps build strength and cardiovascular ability. Wheelchair tennis was extremely successful in 2006.

Last year, Middle States hosted four successful wheelchair tournaments. In addition, multiple up/down events (a wheelchair athlete playing with an able-bodied participant) were also held. Wheelchair players also demonstrated wheelchair tennis at various school assemblies and community forums, including an exhibition at World TeamTennis. For more information on wheelchair tennis programs and tournaments in your area, please contact the USTA Middle States office at 610-935-5000.

USTA Adaptive Tennis

Tennis is a sport without boundaries. Yes, there are lines on a court, but they aren’t there to exclude anyone, regardless of disability.

USTA Adaptive Tennis recognizes four main categories of differently-abled players:

• Developmentally disabled (learning disabilities, autism, Down’s Syndrome, mental retardation); • Physically disabled (birth defects, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, muscular dystrophy, etc.); • Consumers of mental health services (psychiatrically disabled, emotionally disturbed); and • At risk/environmentally disabled (substance abusers, mentally and physically abused, homeless, HIV positive individuals, persons within the juvenile justice system, etc.).

For each of these groups, the USTA supports adaptive tennis programs, providing grant money, equipment and resources for specifically tailored programs that provide fun, fitness and a positive social experience for participants. Regional clinics and instructional programs are held throughout the section, often in conjunction with agencies devoted to serving special populations within the respective communities. The enjoyment, physical well-being and contact shared by participants have proven to be positive sources of self-esteem, helping open doors to a more positive lifestyle.

For more information on adaptive programs in your area, please contact the USTA Middle States office at 610-935-5000.
