"I founded Tennis for Hope after my house flooded during the Florida Hurricanes. While going through the most devastating and traumatic period of my life, I realized how lucky I was that I could start rebuilding right away, while so many around me couldn't. That experience inspired me to create Tennis for Hope to help bring our tennis community together to support those affected by natural disasters.” Gigi Fernandez - Founder
