Spotlight on Charity – Tennis is For Everyone

Mar 24, 2025

Tennis Is For Everyone, Inc is a 501 (c) (3) non profit charity organization formed to serve special needs adults in our community. We strive to enrich the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental differences through adaptive tennis clinics and events. Our mission is to promote healthy, happy lifestyles and build a strong sense of community.

Deercreek is home for several of our events. Our tennis scholarship program is offered here by Coach Maria. Each December we have a Christmas Adaptive tennis event where all agencies that serve special needs are invited. And lastly one of our fund raising Triples events is offered here on our courts.

Our vision is a society where everyone regardless of ability is embraced and connected. Together, we build a future where the impact of Tennis Is For Everyone resonates far beyond the courts. You can find out more about us at www.tennisisforeveryone.org.

Pace Center for Girls is a Florida-based, nationally recognized not-for-profit organization that provides non-residential, prevention, intervention and diversion services for girls and young women of middle and high school age. Pace provides free year-round schooling in academics, case management, counseling and life skills development in a trauma and gender free environment.

The DWA supports Pace at their Mrs. Mary’s Boutique. The Boutique, formally known as “The Clothes Closet”, was started by now 90-year-old Mary Warner. The Boutique provides a way for the girls to “buy” items with points they’ve earned through grades, good deeds, class attendance and participation. We support the Boutique with donations of clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and toiletries.

Mrs. Mary’s Boutique has its own permanent room. It’s decorated and set up just like a boutique in the mall. This makes the girls feel very special and gives them an opportunity to shop in a place that otherwise they cannot afford.

Thank you for all your support for Pace in the way of volunteering and donations. If you are interested in volunteering or have items to donate, please contact Vicki Khan at 904-923-3538 or [email protected]. Her address for drop off items is 10148 Deercreek Club Road.
