The New England Senior Tennis Foundation (NESTF) exists thanks to the passion that Irving and Bernice Levine had for senior tennis in New England. Their foresight and financial backing have enabled the NESTF to support and promote senior tennis in New England since 1995. A critical part of this support is funding for the New England Slams, the brainchild of Ken and Dorcas Miller, which became the premier tournaments for senior tennis players in New England. The Foundation also supports other senior tournaments in the area and the New England “Cup” competitions for men and women.

 

While Irving and Bernice established the Foundation and set it up to be financially viable for many years to come, they did not provide infinite support. We must rely on continuous donations to sustain these popular and anticipated tennis events in New England.

 

If you are one of the many players who benefit from these events and would love to see the various programs expand and thrive, please consider donating to the foundation. Your gift can ensure tennis players in New England will continue to enjoy excellent competition, camaraderie, and experiences for years to come. Thank you in advance.

James Curtin: $250 “I remember playing Junior Tennis and watching the Adults ahead of me battle in the New England Lawn Tennis Association tournaments and knowing that one day I would play against many of them. Time certainly flies when you're having fun; while injuries have kept me away from this sport of a lifetime it is great to know that those "Adults" are still at it; of course at the age of 67; I only wish I could get back on the courts and compete once again. I am happy to support this organization to keep this sport alive and well for those of us Seniors.”
