Coosa Valley Tennis Association recently concluded its second annual High School Fundraising Tournament, rallying support from the community to raise crucial funds for local high school tennis teams.

The event, held on Feb. 18 at Rome Tennis Center, brought together tennis enthusiasts of all skill levels for a day of spirited competition and camaraderie. Participants showcased their talent in doubles matches, all while contributing to a worthy cause.

Simultaneously, CVTA hosted an online auction, offering a wide array of items to pique the interest of tennis fans and philanthropists alike. From exclusive memorabilia to ticket packages for the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Open Tennis Tournament, bidders had the opportunity to secure coveted prizes while supporting youth athletics.

 

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to our charity tennis tournament and online auction,” said Dave Dawson, vice president of CVTA. “The generosity and enthusiasm of the community have allowed us to make a significant impact on high school tennis programs, providing vital resources to support young athletes in their pursuit of excellence.”

Thanks to the collective efforts of participants, donors, and volunteers, the event raised $3,641 in support of high school tennis teams. These funds will go directly toward purchasing equipment, maintaining facilities, covering travel expenses, and fulfilling other essential needs to ensure the continued success of high school tennis programs.

Dawson said CVTA extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the event. For more information about the organization and future fundraising initiatives, visit cvta.us
