As Todd Martin, an East Lansing native, continues his career
as a tennis professional, his dedication to the Todd Martin Development
Fund remains constant.
The Todd Martin Development Fund began in 1994 to enable the
youth of Lansing to experience the positive benefits that Todd
himself received while developing his tennis skills. The Todd
Martin Development Fund was therefore established as a part of
the Capital Region Community Foundation with youth
programs operated by the Lansing Parks and Recreation Department,
and in association with organizations such as the Greater Lansing
Tennis Patrons and the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce.
The Todd Martin Development Fund's goal is to provide Lansing
youngsters with a healthy alternative activity while developing
their tennis skills to the fullest. The goal is achieved through
the funding of low cost, accessible youth tennis programs.
The Fund supports a program designed to build self esteem and
leadership abilities and to reinforce positive values through
the sport of tennis. A secondary goal is to promote the sport of
tennis in the community through the funding and support of
various activities including low-cost, accessible programs.

The Todd Martin Development Fund, a community supported program,
needs just that: community support. With this in mind, we hope
that each of you will consider making a contribution in your
own way to the Todd Martin Development Fund. The rewards of making
a contribution are always greater than the contribution itself.
Although there are countless opportunities to make a positive
impact on Lansing's youth, the Todd Martin Development Fund
has outlined three opportunities: - Volunteer
- Event sponsors
- Donors
Volunteer committees are formed to keep events running
smoothly for our youth programs and fund raisers. Being a volunteer means
being a part of the action and excitement, yet ensures flexible
hours.
A second opportunity to get involved is to sponsor a portion
of the fund-raiser. Each event is underwritten by a title sponsor
and then sponsored in part by local businesses. All sponsors
receive marketing opportunities through display of their
business banner during the event, recognition in all printed
materials, and tickets to all events.
Making a donation is the third way to make a difference for
Lansing's youth. All donations, no matter the size, contribute
to the growth of the Todd Martin Development Fund. The donor
may also designate the gift directly to the operation of the
youth program or to the endowment fund, guaranteeing the longevity
of the program. Each donation is tax deductible.
If one of these opportunities appeals to you, or if you would
like more information before making a decision, please contact
Nancy Danhof at
for more information.
