Tennis Racquets for Kids Recieves Citation

Tennis Racquets for Kids Inc., has received a 2014 citation from Nassau County Executive, Edward P. Mangano. Co-Founder Zachary Mintz, Co-Founder Paige Mintz, and Vice President Rachel Mintz each received their own citation which stated: "You have worked diligently on behalf of causes and ideals which uphold the principles of human decency, and through the years, you have demononstrated a selfless commitment to the County of Nassau and its residents that warrants attention and gratitude." Over 100 tennis racquets and 6 cases of new balls were donated to the Nassau County Parks and Recreation Department to support the summer camp program. Vice President, Rachel Mintz, created a new division of the charity to suppport the scholarship campers. These children received new tennis racquets so they could learn the game of tennis. Co-President Paige Mintz, "we are also happy to continue to provide tennis racqets and support the Alliance Junior Tennis Development Program, a non-profit organization in Roosevelt, New York." Ms. Emily Moore is the founder and executive director of the program which gives children ages 4-18 an opportunity to experience tennis. These are children without racquets or lessons who want to participate in a camp and learn tennis and develop community pride. When Ms. Moore and her campers received the racquets, she told us: "Tennis Racquets for Kids, never forgets us and gives these children a chance to learn the game." When asked what was special about the donation program, Rachel answered," the smiles,the hugs and the surprise when the kids were told that they could keep the racquets. It was a heart warming experience and a special day. Co- Founders of Tennis Racquets for Kids, Zachary and Paige Mintz, continue to try to find support for the non-profit organization. Co-President Zachary Mintz is always optimistic and stated,"we have not given up on industry and hope that one day Babolat, Wilson, Head, Yonex, Prince, Penn or Nike, and others will contribute to the charity." Until that day, Tennis Racquets for Kids Inc., has been successful due to individuals who will donate for the Love of the Game.
