Help Daniel Craddock Compete at USTA Nationals in Kalamazoo! Please donate before July 29, 2025.

Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out with an urgent request from the heart.

Our 16-year-old son, Daniel L. Craddock II, has earned the honor of competing in USTA Level 1 Nationals at Kalamazoo — one of the most prestigious junior tennis tournaments in the country. This is more than just a tournament. It’s a major step on Daniel’s journey toward college tennis and his dream of turning professional.

Daniel’s path hasn’t been easy. In 2024, we made a bold move from Hawaii to Florida so he could receive the elite training and match play opportunities needed to compete at the national level. Our family downsized our life and business to fully support his goal. His commitment has been nothing short of inspiring: 30+ hours of weekly training, intense discipline, and a never-quit attitude.

Now, he’s ready for Kalamazoo — but we need your help.

We have just 7 days to raise funds to cover:
• Tournament fees
• Flights and transportation
• Hotel/lodging

Our Goal: $5,000

If you’ve ever believed in the power of a dream, we ask you to believe in Daniel. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving him the chance he’s worked so hard for. If you can’t give, sharing this link means the world to us too.

Thank you for helping our son rise. Let’s get him to Kalamazoo.

With gratitude,
The Craddock Family
❤️
