Things have gotten a lot cooler on courts 4 and 5 at the Althea Gibson Tennis Complex, thanks to Faye Campbell of the Wilmington Tennis Ladder! 😎

They used proceeds from the 2025 ladder to purchase these much-needed awnings! Pouring right back into the community is nothing new for these sweet, unsung heroes! Thank you, Faye!!🤝
