The Edmonds Tennis & Education Foundation (ETEF) is a nonprofit 501c3 youth development organization established in 2018. It is a subsidiary of the Willow Creek Tennis Retreat, based in Henderson, and aligned with the US Tennis Association.
The Foundation is dedicated to using the game of tennis to provide academic and athletic opportunities for under-resourced youth throughout rural NC, primarily focusing on youth between the ages of 5-18.
The ETEF Endowment has a goal of providing $2,500 in scholarships (5 @ $500) annually to deserving high school graduates continuing their education at an NC-based institution of higher learning.
