Houston Tennis Club 4 Orlando
Donation protected
Founded in 1980, the Houston Tennis Club (HTC) is a non-profit organization formed to create a framework for promoting athletic competition in the sport of tennis among its members. HTC does not discriminate or deny membership on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or creed.
HTC has a roster of players ranging from novice to advanced tournament players. It is also home to the annual HOUTEX tennis tournament and charity fundraiser. The HOUTEX tournament is one of the oldest and most prestigious gay tennis tournaments in the United States and is sanctioned by the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Association (GLTA), a member organization of the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
The HTC is asking for funds to help those affected in Orlando by the tragedy that occurred in the early morning of June 12, at Pulse nightclub. These funds will be allocated to our sister leagues in Orlando (Orange Blosson Tennis Association) whose members, family members, and loved ones have been affected.
We hope to reach our goal within a week to support those individuals requiring financial assistance, e.g. medical care, death-related expenses, etc. This attack on the LGBTQ community was both senseless and inhumane. The HTC is asking for any and all support, participation, and/or sponsorship to help all of those involved. I, along with our acting HTC Treasurer, Joel Norris, will manage the funds collected and deliver them to the OBTA.
Remember, every little bit counts. United we stand.
