Haven Pell - US Foundation Award
A new prize, the Foundation Award, has been created by the U.S. Court Tennis Preservation Foundation and its chair Bill McLaughlin. The award was designed to recognize extraordinary achievement in fostering the aims of the USCTPF including new court dTvelopment, player development, organizational guidance, leadership and fundraising. Before the creation of this award, the Foundation, although two decades old, has never had a way to recognize significant contributions of those who devote themselves to expanding the sport and preserving its best qualities.
Haven Pell has been announced as the inaugural winner of the Foundation Award. Haven Pell’s spectacular work has included leading the effort to create Prince’s Court in Washington in 1997 and his years as chair of the Foundation, particularly in helping obtain Real Tennis Online and developing the Foundation.
