The National Junior Tennis League of Trenton just held its second fundraiser of the year, and as President of the Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for its overwhelming support, not only of our events, but of our program.

NJTLT was founded in 1975 as a chapter of the national organization founded by Arthur Ashe. Using his mission of enriching the lives of inner-city children using tennis as a vehicle, NJTLT has flourished. Education, nutrition, various special activities, and technology, in addition to tennis, are important components of our program, and we are clearly making a difference in children’s lives. We are proud of the numbers of kids we have reached and of the progress we continue to make through the business and tennis community’s financial support. This year, 1,200 kids participated in our programs.

The Capital Cup was the fundraiser just completed at the Trenton Country Club, and the main gala will be held April 20, 2007. We raised $20,000 at the Capital Cup this year and are hoping to raise at least $250,000 this coming spring.

As we plow forward, we would just like to say how much we appreciate those supporters and partners who share our dreams, and we look forward to continuing this exciting ride.

Amy Smith, President

National Junior Tennis League of Trenton

Thank you Trenton Country Club and sponsors for your support!
