Annalee Thurston Award Reception:
On behalf of The Love & Love Tennis Foundation, Tory and I would like to thank you all for making the evening one of the best! The excitement in the room and being a part of such a special occasion was really awesome. I know Annalee is happy to have her name connected to Billie Jean King, a legend and icon in the world of tennis and beyond.
We raised over $100,000 thanks to all of you and the silent and live auction items donated by WTA, USTA, BNP Paribas, ITHF, Credit One Charleston, American Express Golf, Urban Skin Rx, Tennis Channel, Vicky’s of Santa Fe’ & Ristorante Mamma Gina all contributed to our success. I hope you enjoy the items you bid on!
I want to thank my sponsors, friends, and all those who came and made all this possible. Thank you Rodney Strong Vineyards Chris O’Gorman, for all the wine you donate every single year, Fila’s Jennifer Estabrook and Lauren Mallon for your support, Dr. Joan Oloff with Oloff Shoes for being a part of all our endeavors, and Desert Champions; Heni Watson, Peggy Michel & Ray Moore. To all my special friends, Gary & Barb Tolman, Tom & Susan Maas, Billie Jean & Ilana, Martina Navratilova, and Gigi Fernandez . . . thank you, thank you all!!!
This money raised will start new programs and support old ones. It is the foundation’s mission to try and get as many kids playing tennis as possible. We are working on this from the East, West, North, and South. I will keep you posted on how we are doing through our website: lovelovetennisfoundation.com and my Facebook page.
Until next year, please stay well and healthy. I don’t know what I’ll do next year but I do hope you’ll come and find out!
Thank you all from the love in our hearts.
Rosie & Tory
