The Friends of TC Tennis group was formed in 2000 with a sweeping vision for a Tennis Center at Traverse City Central High School. This vision included ten new courts, a walkway, a pavilion featuring a covered viewing area, restrooms, concession, and a storage area and team room. Specific TCAPS projects that benefited from last year’s fundraising efforts include the completion of a much needed tennis shelter/storage building at Traverse City East Junior High School. The structure was built during the summer of 2007.
Through the generosity of foundations, business and private contributions, and in-kind donations, more than $500,000 has been raised. Proceeds from this year’s fundraising efforts will go toward windscreens, nets, and bleachers at TC Central High School and TC East Junior High School and donations to four area schools.
