Talking to Paige Lorenze and Tommy Paul about their new sport-focused foundation
The Kids Outdoors Foundation will host tennis clinics and after-school programs to help children with less resources get outdoors and involved in a pricey sport.
After teasing the news on Instagram earlier this month, Paige Lorenze and Tommy Paul announced today the launch of their new charitable endeavor, The Kids Outdoors Foundation.
“We’ve always wanted to do something together and now we’re in a position where we can dedicate time to giving back to what gives to us,” said Lorenze over the phone from Miami, where she was in town for a photoshoot before heading to join Paul for the first Grand Slam of the year in Australia.
“Tennis is an amazing sport, but it can be expensive and hard to get into if you don’t already have a foot in the door. A lot of kids with real talent don’t have a shot at it between court time, rackets, and travel,” Paul wrote via email from Australia where he’s been playing in the Adelaide International. “The foundation is about breaking down those barriers so more kids can just get on the court and see where it takes them.”
