Send-a-Kid-to-Camp
Requests for camp scholarships are increasing and, thanks in part to the involvement of CBS Sports announcer Dick Enberg, the Send-a-Kid-to Edís Camp  has provided the necessary assistance. Last year more than $5000 was raised from a number of sources, making it possible to assist 15 children who otherwise wouldnít have been able to attend. If you can help, send you tax-deductible donation to J. Collins Memorial Tennis Scholarship Fund/George Barnes Tennis Center/4490 W. Point Loma Blvd., San Diego, CA 92107.
