Summer Program Impact

Parents and caregivers love that Tenacity’s Summer Tennis & Reading Program is free, local, and fun—while helping kids stay engaged with literacy all summer long.

"Charlie is shy and reserved. When I’d come pick him up from Tenacity, he’d be talking to friends and counselors, and I have even seen him initiating games with other children. This made me so happy to see. The staff were so good to him and he loved it as I have never seen him love anything before. He asks to go to Tenacity on weekends. He is over the moon happy with it! Thank you!!!"
