Kennedy Shaffer's Professional Tennis Journey

Kennedy Shaffer is an aspiring professional tennis player who played collegiately at the University of Georgia where she was a 2x All-American as well as a quarterfinalist in both singles and doubles at the NCAA Championships Individual events. The 22 year old claimed her first professional title in 2016 at the pro circuit event in Evansville, Indiana, and achieved her newest career high ranking of 506 in the world. Unfortunately, with these great accomplishments came a few setbacks. Kennedy was unable to build on that momentum as she was left with no other option but right wrist surgery in April 2019. Just recently, however, she was able to claim her first professional title post-operation and overall second professional title at the pro circuit event in Norman, Oklahoma, in December 2019 . Now, attempting to continue her come back and reach new highs, Kennedy is struggling to afford to pursue her dreams. Her wrist procedure left her unable to work and support her playing habits so now she's asking for help. Money has always been a roadblock in her potential path to the top so any and all donations are greatly appreciated as even the slightest bit of assistance can be put towards incurred training and playing expenses. We ask that you please consider giving. Thank you all.
