The Panda Foundation was established as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in 2000. Our
mission is twofold: First, to help children by intervening in their lives and facilitating their
successful futures, using tennis as the hook. Literacy, reading, proper nutrition and education are our mission’s primary focal points, but we address needs of the entire family to ensure success. Second, to provide the training and resources to help those youngsters that aspire to professional tennis careers. Our partnership with the Bollettieri Tennis and Learning Program (BTL) has achieved phenomenal success by our collaboration with the University of South Florida.
