The Grand Strand Tennis Foundation recognizes that diversity and inclusion are essential to achieving our mission to promote and develop the growth of tennis. We welcome all people who play, watch, support or enjoy the game of tennis into our events, programs, and leadership and will not discriminate against any person on the basis of age, sex, race, ethnicity, creed, sexual orientation, color, physical condition, religion or national origin. We believe that the growth of tennis hinges on effective outreach to groups that have not traditionally been heavily involved in tennis and we will actively solicit and support the participation of such groups.
