Muchas Gracias! Danke schön! Tusen takk! Doumo Arigatou!
January 2023

International Master Professionals gave the PTR Foundation a tremendous start in 2023 by generously and thoughtfully donating to the foundation. They are not just master professionals on court, they are also ‘master’ donors and supporters of the foundation. IMPs donated over $12,000 and they deserve a huge drum roll….. We surely couldn’t do it without your support and guidance; thank you, IMPs! We look forward to working with you on many projects and events. 

The PTR Foundation is a registered 501 c 3 charity created and originally funded by Dennis Van Der Meer as the charitable arm of the PTR.  Today it is primarily supported by PTR member donations.

The rest of January was about getting ready for the symposium. We spent time procuring items for the silent auction. It was truly a team effort. The PTR staff helped us procure many items and used an app to display and bid the silent auction items. Thank you Paige and Caitlyn for all your kind support. As always, our sponsors were very responsive. Paige also helped us build Powerpoint slides for the award presentations.

The PTR Foundation was a significant contributor to the construction of Sweet Briar College tennis courts.
