Donation Menu At Six Love, we value transparency and believe in providing a clear understanding of how your contributions are used. That's why we have taken the step to include the costs associated with each program we offer. By doing so, we aim to provide a comprehensive view of our operations and ensure accountability. We want you to have confidence in knowing that your support directly impacts the programs we provide. By including our costs, we promote an open and honest dialogue about the resources required to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
We firmly believe that every child should have the opportunity to pursue their tennis dreams, regardless of financial constraints. The Mary Williams Scholarship Fund was established to ensure that no aspiring player is held back due to prohibitive costs. This fund is crucial in subsidizing expenses that might hinder participation for talented individuals and their families. From covering program/tournament fees and equipment costs to enabling enrollment in high-performance tennis camps, the Mary Williams Scholarship Fund opens doors and provides access to opportunities that can shape a player's future.
Six Love will continue our after-school program based in Stamford to provide educational assistance further to close the opportunity gap among our youth players. By providing tennis instruction and education assistance, Six Love will empower all generations to succeed and become men and women of character both on and off the court. The “Homework Club” runs Monday through Thursday through the end of the school year.

Friday Night Hits is intended to promote a sense of community amongst adolescents and young adults by providing free tennis opportunities for high school and college students in the area. Friday Night Hits is a social tennis program that provides a safe space for our young people to be on Friday Nights. From 8 pm-10 pm, youth will play cardio tennis games, create positive relationships with peers, and enjoy a nutritious dinner among friends. We encourage each of our participants to bring a friend every week. Six Love provides tennis equipment and intro to tennis basics to get more young people on the court and grow the tennis game. Participants come to NCRC from all over Fairfield County including students from Stamford High, Norwalk High, Westhill High, Saint Joseph High, Southern Connecticut State University, Norwalk Community College, and UCONN to play tennis with their peers. This program is scheduled for 30 weeks, 8 pm-10 pm at the New Canaan Racquet Club indoor tennis facility.
