Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update that we are one week into our fundraiser for Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center.  We have raised $1,250.00 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.

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

Sincerely,

Steve Menichetti

Hi everyone!!

I hope that all of you had a nice holiday season and are safe and healthy.

Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center is located in Dorchester, MA.  Sportsmen’s currently serves more than 5,000 young people and 1,000 adults annually.  They provide free programs for low-income families in the Blue Hill Corridor, which includes parts of Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Hyde Park, South Boston and Jamaica Plain.  94% are people of color, and 83% speak more than one language.

These neighborhoods have higher rates of chronic illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and COVID-19, making their services vital.

Some tennis4all members (including yours truly) have donated towards the great work that Sportsmen’s is doing for our community.

If you are able, I hope that you’ll consider donating today.  Your gift today will help change the life of a young person.  Please mention that you are a member of tennis4all when you give.

The link to donate is:
