We’re thrilled to announce a transformative partnership between Philpott Children’s Tennis and The Boulevard Club, aimed at revolutionizing access to tennis for inner-city youth. This collaboration will make a significant impact by providing free tennis lessons to children who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to engage in the sport. Beyond just learning tennis, these kids will gain invaluable life skills and forge lasting friendships.
The Boulevard Club’s sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to fostering youth development and community engagement through the sport of tennis. With this support, Philpott can ensure that more children have access to high quality programming in a safe and welcoming environment where they can learn and grow through sport.
“Our partnership with the Boulevard Club is significant for our program,” said Richard Crowell, Executive Director of Philpott Children’s Tennis. “With their generous support, we can provide accessible and reliable programs for families in the Parkdale community; and give more children the chance to experience the joy of tennis and build connections that will benefit them for years to come.”
The tennis program at Parkdale will run for 7 weeks throughout the summer months. The program is free to participants and covers all costs including equipment and instruction.
“The Boulevard Club is excited to continue a meaningful partnership with Philpott Children’s Tennis. As we dedicate funds to sponsor the Summer Parkdale Tennis Program, we are honoured to have the opportunity to assist in empowering our youth and to be good neighbours in the process.” Paul Cairns, Tennis Director
Registration for the Parkdale program can be done online through City of Toronto at toronto.ca/sports-programs.
