Cora Masters Barry, president and founder of the RWLC said:
“The support of Venus and Serena is something that has been a driving force behind the success of the Center from day one. We are privileged to be able to honor them with the naming of the new tennis arena and thrilled that they will be in attendance on November 7 for the unveiling and entire gala. The facility is going to be gorgeous, but it is just a building if we don’t do something great inside of it,” continued Barry. “I can’t wait to see kids of all ages pick up rackets and play on these new courts. That will be worth every brick and every penny.”
Congrats to Venus and Serena for giving back to the community.
