Park Tudor Boys Tennis Team wins Award for Volunteer Service

Players from the Park Tudor Boys Varsity and Junior Varsity tennis teams will be receiving the Bronze Level President’s Volunteer Service Award for initiating a permanent seasonal tennis program for Down Syndrome Indiana Organization families. In partnership with Park Tudor School, tennis lessons are offered by the players throughout the fall free of charge for Down Syndrome Indiana families interested in learning the sport. “It has been a fun experience for all of us and we just love the kids”, says Brendan Tannenbaum.

The President’s Council on Service created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. Tennis Team Captains, Sam Miles and Kishan Shah, are the official liaisons between Down Syndrome Indiana and the Park Tudor tennis team. The volunteers participating this fall received the Bronze Level Award of 50 plus hours of service include:

Sam Clarke
Sam Geier
Scott Kincannon
Jack Miles

Matt Neal

“The Park Tudor tennis players have created a fun experience for the kids, with physical fitness, team building and some inventive tennis games”, says a Park Tudor tennis Mom.

Spring tennis clinics will commence again in April with the Park Tudor girls tennis team joining the boys to conduct the clinics.

A huge thanks to the Park Tudor Varsity and Junior Varsity Teams for organizing this wonderful opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
