SSUL Fundraising Distribution Completed
The devastation of hurricane Helene damaged courts and facilities all across WNC. 100% of the proceeds received by the ATA from "Stars Servin' Up Love" on Sunday, February 2, go directly toward this effort. The ATA received 10% of the monies raised for a total of $102,364.25 for distribution.
The ATA partnered with local community partners, NC Tennis, and USTA Southern to help identify and assist in the repair and restoration of tennis facilities impacted by Hurricane Helene.
We set up an application process where applicants submitted their damage assessments and quotes for repair and restoration of their tennis courts with a deadline of June 15 2025 for applications.
We have distributed the fundraising monies as follows to the following eight facilities who applied:
Ashe County Parks $26,650
Creekside Sports Club, Black Mountain $26, 800
Aston Park Tennis Center, Asheville $3,650
Asheville Racquet Club $3,700
Brevard Racquet Club $3,000
Deer Valley Racquet Club, Boone $17,800
Town of Lake Lure $19,000
Town of Black Mountain $864.25
We hope this helps in our long path to Helene recovery and we appreciate these facilities’ determination to recover their courts for the tennis community.
