Platform Tennis News covered the charity tournament hosted by Fox Meadow that supports The Children’s Village in Dobbs Ferry, NY.

The Children’s Village Platform Tennis Tournament was co-founded by Fox Meadow Tennis Club member Sally D. Rogers, and had been run at Fox Meadow since the early 1980s.

The beneficiary was the Sanctuary program at Children’s Village, which provides a safe haven for young people between the ages of 12-17 who felt they could not go home, or had no home to go to.

Besides food, shelter, and clothing, the program was designed to stabilize young people in crisis and help them take control of their lives.

The tournament covered a significant part of the Sanctuary’s annual operating budget.
