SHARE THE GAME OF TENNIS BY HELPING FUND JUNIOR TENNIS SCHOLARSHIPS! 

Participation in tennis leads to many physical, social, mental, and academic benefits, but kids have to have access to play.  Income is the number one indicator of youth sports participation and youth from the lowest income homes are half as likely to participate as their peers from wealthier homes.  Donations to the Isora Foundation Junior Tennis Scholarship program help us ensure that participation in The Fort’s acclaimed junior tennis program is driven by a desire to play and not an ability to pay.  All scholarships are based on financial need and offered to every level of player.  Participation costs can be especially challenging for students in our competitive pathway who desire to play at least twice per week.  Click here to make a donation.  

“The scholarship assistance program has provided our kids with the opportunity to be introduced to tennis and learn a sport that has lifelong wholesome enjoyment and helped keep our kids from falling prey to the streets.  This sport was not accessible to us when we were kids as we were growing up nor affordable in our community. We owe a lifetime of gratitude and will be forever thankful to the Fort for this program that enabled our kids to learn from the best coaches and be supported by a wonderful and caring staff.”
