Honoring a Vision, Changing Lives Through Tennis
We are a non-profit tennis foundation dedicated to empowering boys and girls through the values and opportunities that tennis provides. Our programs focus on youth development, mentorship, education, character building, and creating a positive environment where young people can grow both on and off the court.
Everything we do is rooted in the vision of our founder, Cary Cohenour, whose passion for tennis and commitment to helping young people inspired the creation of this foundation. Cary believed that tennis was more than a sport, it was a pathway to confidence, discipline, leadership, and lifelong success.
Although Cary passed away in 2023, his legacy continues to guide our mission every day. We are committed to carrying forward his dream by providing opportunities for boys and girls to learn, compete, develop meaningful life skills, and reach their full potential.
As a non-profit organization, every donation, partnership, and volunteer contribution helps us expand our impact and continue the work that Cary started. Together, we are building a lasting legacy that empowers future generations through the game of tennis.
Keeping Cary’s vision alive—one child, one lesson, and one opportunity at a time.
