Blumenthal, NIRSA Executive Director; Suzette Smith, 2005-2006 NIRSA Foundation Board of Directors Chair; Joe Rasgado, USTA Board of Directors member, Glenn Arrington, USTA National Product Manager, Collegiate & Corporate Tennis.

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) threw down a challenge, and NIRSA Members, as always, stepped up to meet it.

Member contributions to the NIRSA Foundation at the 2006 Annual Conference in Louisville totaled $18,430, a record amount that more than earned us a $15,000 matching gift from USTA.

This outstanding show of support was the perfect way to kick off the $1 Million Milestone campaign, which aims to bring the total amount of money raised by the NIRSA Foundation since its inception in 1992 beyond $1 million by December 2010.

Thank you, Members and USTA!
