Our History
Love To Serve Tennis and Education Foundation was founded in 1992 by its Chairman and CEO, L. Lamont Bryant, a tennis professional and former school teacher. Coach Bryant recognized the need for a program that would provide access to the non-traditional sport of tennis, particularly for under-served youth in Chicago. His goal was to establish an organization that would keep impressionable inner-city youth off the streets by creating an arena for them to participate in structured tennis and academic programs. Through hard work, dedication and the development of strategic partnerships, Love To Serve Tennis and Education Foundation has become a nationally recognized organization serving more than 12,000 student athletes annually.
“During a time when growing up is a social challenge for some and out-of-reach for others, Love To Serve is the “leg-up” advantage parents want for their children. Here’s your invitation from the Love To Serve Tennis and Education Foundation to become a partner with one of Chicago’s most creative youth development program.” “Identifying funding for Love To Serve Tennis and Education Foundation programs is a very important element of our success. Foundation grants, corporate sponsorship, fundraising and individual contributions are the corner-stones of the organization. All of which, will help to do more good, reach more kids and assist more families.”
