2017-2018-YR-End-Report.Pdf Overview of 2017-2018 Report This report is designed to serve as a historical reference for the MaliVai Washington Kids Foundation doing business as the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation. It replaces the annual report and offers detailed information for staff, board members and major donor use. It is generally designed for internal use, but is provided to interested parties for review. This report is not designed to replace individual grant/donor reports. This report includes a detailed synopsis of all MWYF programs, information on staff and volunteers, a demographic and outcome analysis, and financial analysis (unaudited). If information you are looking for is not available in this report, please feel free to contact our office at the MaliVai Washington Youth Center at 904-359-KIDS (5437). The mission of the MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation is to develop champions in classrooms, on tennis courts and throughout communities. The vision of MWYF is that the young people who participate in our programs will be provided with the resources they need to rise to their full potential and become contributing members of society. The MaliVai Washington Youth Foundation operates in Durkeeville, a historically African American community in Jacksonville’s urban core. We offer programs to underserved youth living or going to school in Health Zone 1 and JSO Zone 5. According to the Jacksonville Children’s Commission's ‘State of Jacksonville’s Children Report’ (2011), Health Zone 1 (consisting of zip codes 32202, -04, -06, -08, -09, and -54) has the highest concentration of risk factors for raising a child. In Health Zone I, 26% of the population lives below the poverty line and 38.4% of the population of children under 18 are living below the poverty line. Families living in Health Zone 1 experience the lowest average median income, the highest percentage of poverty and the highest incidences of unemployment, teen pregnancy, teen STDs, HIV/AIDS, births to unwed mothers, single-parent households, homicides and high school drop outs. In Duval County, only 75% of students graduate from high school in four years, and this percentage is even lower in Health Zone 1. Additionally, according to the JSO website, Zone 5 has the highest incidence of murder, violent crimes and property damage. They also have the highest incidence of reported child abuse and neglect and domestic violence. In 2011, 43% of the homicides that took place in Jacksonville occurred in Health Zone 1. This past year, zip code 32209 continued to have a high level of violence including the immediate vicinity of the Youth Center.

  • James Bollettieri Has Tennis in His Blood. While He's the Son of Famed
    James Bollettieri has tennis in his blood. While he’s the son of famed coach Nick Bollettieri —founder of the IMG Academy, which developed stars like Anna Kournikova and Andre Agassi —Bollettieri has staked his own claim as an elite coach over a career spanning 45 years. Bollettieri, 65, doesn’t think of tennis as merely a sport, but part of a varied “lifestyle” that encompasses art, photography, his love of surfing, and the outdoors. It’s all part of a whole that defines who he is. Some of Bollettieri’s earliest memories of tennis stretch back to being four years old and on the court beside his dad up to his young adult years traveling the country, initially observing his father and later mentoring and shaping tennis greats himself. Bollettieri says he started coaching at just 15, working during the summers at his father’s camp, filling in wherever he was needed. “It started out with ‘son, go down there and take care of that section of mainly adult women,’ helping out wherever there was a need, which eventually grew to running camps, which is a big responsibility,” Bollettieri says. That dovetailed with his burgeoning interest in photography, which began when he was in the ninth grade. He would go on to earn his Bachelor of Arts in photography from the University of Miami. Bollettieri has photographed the likes of John McEnroe and Roger Federer, his work appearing everywhere from ESPN and art galleries to the walls of tennis clubs around the country and the U.S. Open. “I would say it’s the depth of the photo that makes a good one.

The Grand Slam Tennis Program allows you to see how recent grand slam tennis champions would fair against champions from the past. You can choose from more than 90 former men's grand slam champions and more than 80 former Women's Champions. In addition, you can choose to play the tennis match at the Australian Open, U.S. Open, Wimbledon, or French Open. International tennis matches can also be played, with the option of choosing from many countries around the world. The program is perfect for simulating individual match ups or holding an entire tournament. This is not video graphic game. It is a statistical game based on each former tennis player’s historical success in playing major grand slam singles events. While some players have a higher probability of success, their performance in any particular tournament is still subject to the laws of random probability. For example, a player who has had major success in the French Open is likely to do well in the French Open, but could still lose to a player who has had less historical success in the French Open.
