CAMBA’s Post

This one is really special to me. I got to read through some of the applications for this grant program & I was moved by some of what I read from coaches/administrators. These messages came from high school coaches who are passionate about their student-athletes & about tennis being a beacon of light for them. I read emails from coaches who pay out of pocket for transportation, tennis balls, used racquets, & repurposing equipment such as racquet grips for their kids. Schools where tennis programs get a budget of a couple hundred dollars per year & if there isn't enough interest to play, then the programs get cut. I read some statements describing how the kids' confidence & passion for the sport were driven by the fact that they were able to get something as simple as new uniforms to wear. Little things can go a long way in making student-athletes feel supported & make them want to play sports, not just tennis. These are things that as a high school tennis player myself, I never thought about. I couldn't imagine where I'd be, if my dad had not introduced me to tennis & if I didn't have the opportunity to play in high school. These coaches are a huge part of keeping the heartbeat of this sport alive where parents or schools may not have the funds to make tennis a part of the kids lives. For me, personally, there is nothing that I do in the tennis world that's more important than growing the love of the sport at a grass roots level. If you have a passion for something & you want the next generation to feel that too, find ways you can help!

Leave a Legacy ❤️ If, like us, volleyball has been an incredibly positive and valuable part of your life and you’d like to help others who might not have that chance to experience the profound impact that sport can have, then a gift in your Will can continue the Foundation’s efforts and leave a legacy of support to all those that come after you. By deciding to remember us in your Will, you'll help our team be there to support and guide all ages, all abilities, all across England. Why should I leave a gift to the Foundation? If you believe in supporting future generations in volleyball then leaving a gift in your Will to us is a great way to help us do just that. Gifts we receive make a real difference to developing the sport from grassroots right through to performance level. Your gift will always matter. Can I decide how I would like my gift to be used? Gifts that are 'unrestricted' (i.e. that we can use wherever they'll make the biggest difference) are the most valuable to us as they can be used where they're most urgently needed. You can also leave a gift in your Will to a particular area or campaign, please just get in touch. What type of gift can I leave? We're hugely grateful for every gift and there are three main types of gift you can leave: A residuary legacy is a percentage of whatever is left over from an estate after debts, funeral expenses, administration costs, and all other gifts have been paid. This can be any percentage you like. Many people choose this type of gift as it ensures their loved ones are taken care of first. A pecuniary legacy is a fixed sum of money that can be any amount, big or small. A specific legacy is a gift of a particular item, such as property or an item of jewellery.

The Italian American Baseball Foundation has awarded nearly $250,000 in scholarships to Italians and Italian Americans over the last four years. These scholarships help college baseball and softball players reach their dreams of playing at the next level in the United States. Several scholarship recipients have been members of the Italian National Team and have taken advantage of our relationships with American colleges and universities through the IABF College Pipeline. This is real money with real connections and holds tremendous value for the student-athletes who believe in IABF and all we offer as one of the world's leading baseball non-profits. Our mission has never been clearer: grow baseball in Italy, build opportunities for student-athletes, and rejuvenate a depleted youth system with baseball development and financial support. This movement is real. IABF is focused on building a brighter, better, and bigger future than ever before. 🇮🇹 ⚾️ 🇺🇸 #Italy #Italia #Baseball #College #Scholarships #HigherEducation

🎾 Calling all tennis fans! 🎾 If you're a #tennis enthusiast, add the #Miami Open to your must-see list. It offers a fantastic opportunity to witness the world's top players battling it out in a breathtaking venue while immersing yourself in the exhilarating atmosphere of one of the most significant tournaments on the tennis calendar. Read all about it here: https://hubs.ly/Q02nWQBj0 The Miami Open, being a prestigious tennis tournament and major social event, attracts a significant number of high-net-worth individuals from around the world. This influx of #wealthy individuals brings about a positive impact on the local #economy, as they contribute to increased spending on #luxury goods, services, and #RealEstate. It's worth noting that this connection primarily focuses on the event's economic influence on Miami, rather than its implications on #taxation. It's not uncommon for high-net-worth individuals attending the Miami Open to also take part in #philanthropic events or make generous #donations to #charities connected to the tournament. This act of giving not only makes a positive impact but may also provide potential tax deductions based on individual circumstances and relevant #TaxLaws. #MiamiOpen #LuxurySports #Sports
