USTA Florida Announces Tennis Volunteer 2009 Award Winners
Outstanding Diversity Achievement Award
Adam Leavitt of Longwood (Florida)
"When someone goes out of their way to help others in a truly selfless way, the reward is usually the innate sense of satisfaction that individual experiences from doing the altruistic deed. Such is the case with Adam Leavitt, a remarkable teenager who created an organization in 2003 called Gently Used Tennis Stuff (GUTS) that collects, stores, markets, and delivers slightly used tennis items that are distributed statewide through USTA Florida and locally to the Boys and Girls Club of Eatonville Denton Johnson Tennis Center.
This labor of love provides needy adults, teens, and young children the opportunity to obtain tennis attire and supplies for participation in group tennis lessons and tournaments. Leavitt also coaches local youth who benefit from his gently-used tennis outfits in league and tournament play."
