Building History
USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation Building
In addition to the exciting opportunities taking place in the USTA/Midwest Section to grow tennis participation, the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation (USTA/MTEF), formerly Midwest Youth Tennis & Education Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Association, is poised to grow as well as it constructed its own office building.
The USTA/Midwest Section offices along with the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation moved to the building on June 12, 2006. Long-term tenants have been secured over the years, and all net proceeds from the lease of the building are channeled into the Foundation to achieve its mission 'to develop the life skills of youth through tennis and education.' Also, the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation building serves as the headquarters for the USTA/Midwest Section Tennis Hall of Fame formerly based in Kalamazoo, Mi.
Building Naming and Recognition Opportunities
A Capital Campaign was initiated prior to 2006 to pay down the building's mortgage as quickly as possible so the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation may award additional grants and scholarships for young people in the USTA/Midwest Section. We are excited to offer the opportunity to tennis enthusiasts, USTA members, organizations and others to secure a permanent place in the building.
Please take a few minutes to review our Naming Opportunities and Recognition Opportunities Form posted below which includes our Building, Hall of Fame, Conference Room and more. We also have paver bricks available which are located near the entrance to the building. All donations are tax deductible and will ensure a permanent and perpetuating source of revenue for the USTA/Midwest Tennis & Education Foundation.
