This is the ninth summer the event will be held as a joint benefit for the Stern Center for Language and Learning's Scholarship Fund and the Jeff Stone Foundation's scholarship program for young tennis players. With your help and support last year, this joint effort raised $82,000 in sponsorships.
We greatly appreciate your support and hope that you will be willing to contribute:
Thank you again for your support.
The following letters demonstrate, the Jeff Stone Tournament proceeds really do change lives.
To the Scholarship Committee:
I am writing to thank you so very much for your help making it possible for Alison to receive services at the Stern Center this past year. There is no way for me to really capture in words what this has done for her ... The progress has been easy to be seen, even Alison's language arts teacher has said that she cannot believe how far Alison has come in one year! ... Over the past year, our income has become 3/4 of what we used to have and is now down to zero. Without the support from Alison's scholarship, and our ongoing payment plan, we couldn't send her there ... The right kind of academic and emotional support transfers into every area of a child's life.
Excerpt from a parent letter
I just wanted to thank you very much for generously agreeing to provide, through the Jeff Stone Foundation, a wonderful opportunity for our students ... Luis, Jonathan, Meghan, and Miguel. They all had a great time!
