Experienced corporate lawyer Dyan Gershman serves as a partner with Gershman Law, PLLC, a New York City practice that offers personalized and high-quality legal services to mid-market US and non-US companies. An avid tennis player, Dyan Gershman competed for four years as a member of a local United States Tennis Association (USTA) team.
In July, USTA, through its USTA Foundation, launched the Cycle 1 Grants for 2021. More than 100 National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) chapters from 36 states and the District of Columbia will share over $1 million the USTA Foundation will release for Cycle 1. About $100,000 is earmarked for 20 new NJTL chapters in 12 states.
Every year, USTA Foundation award grants in two grant periods. For this year’s Cycle 1 grants, community-based programs that serve approximately 60,000 young people, half of them holding a tennis racquet for the first time, will benefit from the grants.
The entire network of NJTL chapters serve over 160,000 under-resourced youth, giving them low-cost or free tennis and education services. In addition to 56,000 hours of education services, the network is also expected to render 95,000 hours of tennis services in 2021.
