COURTING LOVE CAMPAIGN
October 2024
Our national award-winning Tennis Center has been in operation since 1991 with the current membrane installed almost 20 years ago – and it needs your love! Now that the Court Sports for Life Foundation has taken over the operation of the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex from the City of Steamboat Springs, we need to:
-
Replace the membrane and insulation (the steel frame is in great shape)
-
Update the HVAC and lighting systems
-
Resurface the courts, and
-
Renovate the restrooms ("about time," we hear you saying!) and refresh the lobby and mezzanine
We estimate that it will cost $2-3 million to do it all.
Where will the funds come from? The City of Steamboat Springs has committed $500,000, and funds put aside from operations for capital improvements plus early support from generous donors total another $500,000, including $250,000 offered as a match.
Please consider giving or pledging now so we can start this project in the Summer 2025. If needed, we can phase this project to match our fundraising progress, but wouldn't it be nice to do it all at once?
That's why we need your help now. Especially at year-end when you may be looking for ways to reduce taxes, capturing stock market gains, making a required IRA distribution, or taking advantage of up to 25% Colorado income tax credit, please think of us! If you know of potential supporters we should speak to, please introduce them to us!
You can contact any of us, or simply donate or pledge online by clicking on a button at the top of this page. To donate securities, please contact David Lamb at Edward Jones in Steamboat at 970.879.7742 or david.lamb@edwardjones.com.
See you on the courts!
