Steamboat Springs Tennis and Pickleball Complex Gears up for Yampa Valley Gives Day, with Early Giving Beginning November 1
The Steamboat Springs Tennis and Pickleball Complex is hard at work alongside Yampa Valley Gives, to gear up for Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, December 10, with early giving starting on November 1. Yampa Valley Gives strives to widen the reach of the ColoradoGives program in an effort to make a difference for nonprofits in the Steamboat community and make it easier for donors to “Give where they live.”
In addition to participating in Yampa Valley/Colorado Gives Day, with early giving starting November 1, the Steamboat Springs Tennis and Pickleball Complex has a simultaneous campaign running, Courting Love, to refresh the Tennis Center, complete with a year-end, double-your-impact “Match”. Thanks to anonymous donors, the Courting Love “Match” means that every dollar donated to Courting Love will be instantly doubled through the end of the year.
The Steamboat Springs Tennis Complex has served the Steamboat Springs community for over 30 years, winning several national USTA and industry awards for the quality of its facilities, programs, coaching and customer service, yet today, is in need of a dire refresh. Cost estimates to refresh the Tennis Center are between $2M – $3M, with needed repairs including replacing the exterior Tennis membrane that was installed in 2005, replacing the HVAC system, failed insulation and lighting, resurfacing indoor tennis courts, and refreshing the Welcome Center, including front desk area, pro shop, locker rooms, and mezzanine.
“The Steamboat Springs Tennis and Pickleball Complex is a nonprofit organization and true public treasure for the Steamboat Springs community,” said Meg Tully, Executive Director, Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Complex. “We will forever be indebted to our valued donors, sponsors and all those who contribute to restore our beloved Tennis Center to its original glory, so this facility can serve generations of youth to senior athletes for years to come.”
With a mission to enrich the lives of Steamboat Springs’ area residents and visitors of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic groups through pickleball and tennis, the Steamboat Springs Tennis and Pickleball Complex is nationally acclaimed as a public recreational treasure for its facilities and programs. The complex features six indoor and six outdoor tennis courts, two pro shops, and 6 outdoor and 12 indoor, year-round pickleball courts. In July, the complex opened its doors to a new, 35,000sq ft Pickleball Center, and is still servicing a $6M loan. Now, with the Courting Love campaign underway to refresh the Tennis Center, there is no better time to support this extraordinary nonprofit organization.
