Boston WINS the Atlantic Cup!! Hip Hip HOORAY!!

Hello everyone,

Under the superb leadership of Captain Brian Frasier, Tennis4all won the 2022 Atlantic Cup last month in Philadelphia.

The Atlantic Cup is an annual team tournament contested among four cities: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.

In the Atlantic Cup’s 30 year history, until this year, Boston has never won an Atlantic Cup on the road. Brian clearly got the most out of his 20-member team, comprised of all levels (Open, A, B, C and D level players).

Not only did Tennis4all win, we DOMINATED!! Boston had nearly twice the amount of match wins than the 2nd place city.

Boston has won 2 of the last 4 Atlantic Cups under Captain Frasier’s leadership. Prior to Brian, tennis4all had won once in 26 years!! This was a tremendous feat. It is difficult to get 20 people to do anything – even more so to get them to travel on their own dime to a visiting city and play together as a team.

Hip Hip Hooray to Captain Frasier and tennis4all Boston. Next year Boston hosts the Atlantic Cup. Can we repeat?? I think so!!

Please join me in giving Brian and the t4a Atlantic Cup team a big virtual hug and high five!

Sincerely,

Steve Menichetti

PLEASE READ: Sportsmen’s Fundraiser UPDATE

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update that we are two weeks into our fundraiser for Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center. We have raised $2,225.00 so far!!

Thanks to all the members that have already donated.

Sportmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center in Dorchester (STEC) offers free and low-cost tennis, academics, and life skills programming to more than 5000 youth annually. Pioneering programs like Volley Against Violence and their Center for Community Wellness extends their outreach to Boston’s underserved communities. Adult recreational and competitive tennis programs welcome diverse players from all over the city and help fund their non-profit mission.

Please view the link below for a better idea of STEC’s impact on the disadvantaged populations that they serve

https://sportsmenstennis.org/our-impact/

We hope that you consider donating to Sportsmen’s this holiday season. We encourage you to make that donation on behalf of tennis4all. If you wish to donate, please write a check made payable to STEC (Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center) and mail to:

Steve Menichetti
6 Mayhew Street #1
Dorchester, MA 02125

Please write “tennis4all” on the envelope or on the memo line of the check.

I will then take all the individual member donations to STEC and make one big donation on behalf of tennis4all.

You can also VENMO me (@SteveMenichetti) and put STEC in the subject line if that is easier for you than writing a check. I can then get STEC to email an individual receipt for each donation.

We have one week left in this fundraiser. Will you help us get to $3,000.00 raised?

Thanks for considering, and happy holidays to you and your families.

Sincerely,

Steve Menichetti
