Over time, we all have lost close family and friends. In the Los Angeles tennis community, many individuals or clubs have set up annual events, scholarship or trust funds for contributions in lieu of flowers and for on-going support of designated programs (in the names of beloved tennis players). Naturally, I don’t know of all of these funds in existence, but I thought I’d mention a few that we can make a love donation to:
