Youth of Tomorrow has partnered with the ATF Emirates Force for Good program to deliver three Schools Future Fit Program events in Sydney and Brisbane, reaching over 700 disadvantaged young people.
The Brisbane event on 4th of September served as a celebration of the national Force for Good program, with around 250 students participating in tennis activities led by qualified coaches and preventative mental health workshops.
Former Wimbledon Champion and Patron of Youth of Tomorrow Pat Cash said: “We’re here for Aussie kids, and we will continue delivering our national education program across Australia through meaningful partnerships.”
Dean Cleaver, Regional Sales Manager at Emirates said: “Emirates is passionate about ensuring our commitment to Australia extends beyond the flights we operate. For us, the Force for Good program is an opportunity for us to give back to the communities we serve in Australia.”
The Australian Tennis Foundation and Emirates have partnered to deliver the ‘Force for Good’ program – an initiative backed by a $2.25 million investment from Emirates over five years. The program aims to inspire brighter futures for disadvantaged children and young people through tennis.
Youth of Tomorrow’s School Future Fit Program is one of 11 community tennis initiatives that received funding to deliver the program to 250 students across Queensland.
Chief Executive Officer at Youth of Tomorrow, Umit Oraloglu said: “The Emirates ‘Force for Good’ program drives positive change and with their commitment to local communities, we welcome this partnership. We are also incredibly grateful to Tennis Queensland for their support in delivering these events.”
Executive Director, Australian Tennis Foundation, Vicki Reid said: “We are excited to join forces with Emirates to support social impact initiatives across Australia. Through this collaboration, we can break down barriers and provide young people with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.”
The Schools Future Fit Program is scheduled to be held in Sydney on the 18th and 19th of September with 500 students expected to grace the courts at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre.
