$250K Match met, Donor gifts $100K for new Match in 2025
The Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex is pleased to announce that it has officially exceeded its 2024 fundraising goal for its Courting Love capital campaign, netting $251,500 out of its $250,000 match goal, meaning that the tennis and pickleball complex is now $501,500 closer to renovating the Tennis Center.
Additionally, inspired by the success of the 2024 match, a new anonymous donor has come forward with a new $100,000 match to keep the Courting Love campaign moving forward in 2025. The Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex anticipates a budget of approximately $2M to replace the Tennis Center’s exterior membrane and insulation, update the HVAC and lighting systems, resurface the indoor tennis courts, and refresh the Welcome Center. Out of the $2M needed budget, $1,286,500 has been raised to for this project, including $500,000 committed by the City of Steamboat Springs.
“Thank you to all who answered the call to help meet our $250,000 match for the 2024 Courting Love campaign,” said Meg Tully, Executive Director, Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex. “With a new $100,000 match in 2025, we are very excited about the future of our beloved Tennis Center and for the lifelong sport of tennis in Steamboat. We are thrilled to keep the momentum going strong for the Courting Love campaign to refresh the Tennis Center with this exciting New Year, New Match opportunity!”
