International Tennis Hall Of Fame Charity Profile
The International Tennis Hall of Fame is a non-profit institution dedicated to preserving the history of tennis, inspiring and encouraging junior tennis development, enshrining tennis heroes and heroines and providing a landmark for tennis enthusiasts worldwide.
The Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport Casino, site of the first U.S. National Championships in 1881, was founded by tennis innovator James Van Alen in 1954 as "a shrine to the ideals of the game." The Tennis Hall of Fame was officially sanctioned by the United States Tennis Association in 1954 and was recognized by the International Tennis Federation in 1986. Over the last ten years, the Hall of Fame complex and Museum have been restored to their original splendor with the 1997 completion of a five year, $7.5 million renovation and endowment project.

Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of two 3-hour shifts each month. Volunteer benefits include a 25% discount in the Museum Gift Shop and Tennis Store, complimentary Museum admission passes and tennis tournament tickets (based on tennis session and availability).
For participants 18 years and older, I acknowledge that as a volunteer at the International Tennis Hall of Fame and its related activities, events and programs state that "I am participating knowingly, freely and without compulsion. I am in good health and I am under no disability (except as disclosed separately in writing) which restricts my volunteering."
