Founded in 2013 by American professional tennis player Sloane Stephens, the Sloane Stephens Foundation ("SSF") was established with a primary goal of enhancing the quality of life for youth, through exposure to tennis as a basis for lifelong learning. Having experienced the benefits that came from playing tennis ourselves, we at the SSF seek to pass on knowledge and resources to economically disadvantaged children and families around the United States. In the under-resourced communities that we work in, as one of our coaches summed up, "there is no greater need for children than to have an accessible program that reinforces positive engagement while teaching a lifelong skill like tennis." SSF staff members and volunteers wake up each morning eager to spread love for a sport that has made our lives better, and that we know will open doors for children who deserve the chance to have tennis change their lives.

Professional Tennis Player & Founder of Doc & Glo and the Sloane Stephens Foundation
Four years of dreams, late nights, early mornings, and a relentless drive to bring something to life that I truly believe in. I’m beyond proud to introduce Doc & Glo to the world, a brand that has been in the making for what feels like a lifetime. Starting this journey into entrepreneurship has been anything but easy. It’s been filled with challenges, doubts, and moments where I questioned if I could keep going. But I knew, deep down, that giving up was never an option. This path isn’t for the weak; it demands resilience, patience, and an unwavering belief in your vision. Doc & Glo is more than just a brand to me, it’s a testament to what can happen when you pour your heart and soul into something, even when the road gets tough. Every product, every detail, has been crafted with love and dedication, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you all. And today, seeing Doc & Glo shining bright on a Nasdaq billboard feels like a dream come true. It’s surreal to witness the manifestation of years of hard work in such a monumental way. It’s not just a victory for me, but a symbol of what’s possible when you refuse to give up on your dreams. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Your encouragement and belief in me have meant more than words can express. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Here’s to chasing dreams, overcoming obstacles, and knowing that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. ✨ Available to shop on docandglo.com, fpmovement.com, and Amazon!
