It’s always a sad occasion when one of our GJTA tennis family passes away. And sometimes, the family or friend of an avid tennis player contacts the GJTA board for ways to memorialize their loved one. GJTA never had a formal memorial donation process, so the GJTA Memorial Bereavement Path has been created.

If friends or family want to memorialize their departed loved one, GJTA will purchase and affix a plaque to each side of one courtside bench at Roxbury Park Tennis Courts for a total cost of $340.  Anyone interested in pursuing this should contact a member of the GJTA board for availability/eligibility approval.  We request that the loved one have been a member of GJTA for at least one year.  Friends and family can make this donation themselves or start a fund-raising campaign.  But, due to the limited number of available benches, only one bench per Memorial can be honored.  Once the $340 has been raised, please contact a Board Member to initiate the purchase of the plaques.
