COURTING LOVE CAMPAIGN
May 2025
​​
The Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Complex is pleased to announce that it is under contract to renovate the Tennis Center. Work will begin in late July 2025, immediately following our largest tennis events of the summer, Rare Air Camps and NTRP Tennis Tournament.
The initial Tennis Center renovation project scope, to elevate the dated Tennis Center to the same quality standard as the Complex’s newly built, state-of-the-art Pickleball Center, included a budget of approximately $1.82M+, that the nonprofit has been fundraising for through its Courting Love campaign, since 2023. Despite achieving only 75% of its fundraising goal, the nonprofit will proceed with the Tennis Center renovation project in July and continue to fundraise. So your donations will still make a HUGE difference - please consider donating today!
WE WILL BE OPEN DURING CONSTRUCTION!
Recently recognized as a USTA Premier Facility for the third year in a row, the Tennis Center will remain open during construction, with only a partial impact on indoor operations during August and September months. Stay tuned for the official Press Release with all the details of this exciting announcement in the upcoming weeks!​​
Where will the funds come from? Here's where we stand as of April 2025:
-
$ 500,000 committed by the City of Steamboat Springs towards replacing the membrane
-
$ 158,000 set aside from prior operating surpluses held in a separate account for maintenance
-
$ 717,000 in Courting Love gifts and pledges (including tennis-designated gifts from the 2024 Center Court Smash fundraiser)
-
$20,700 from our maintenance endowment fund held at Yampa Valley Community Foundation
​
For a total of $1,395,700!
​
Please consider giving or pledging now to help us raise the remaining $425,000. Don't forget, the impact of your donation will be doubled by the 2025 "New Year, New Match" offered by an anonymous donor for up to $100,000, Plus, Colorado taxpayers receive a 25% credit on their Colorado income tax (12.5% for in-kind donations, including securities).
