BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- This past summer, the Hoffman Tennis Courts at Moravian College received a much-needed re-surfacing and re-painting thanks to the Hillary Benner Tennis Court Fund.
The Hillary Benner Fund has been generously funded by alumni and friends after the fund was created five years ago after the tragic and untimely passing of Head Women's Tennis Coach Dawn Ketterman-Benner's only child, Hillary, in April 2007. Hillary was a tennis player and team captain for Liberty High School's tennis team, and she had her first lesson with current Moravian Men's Team Coach Art Smith.
The Hillary Benner Tennis Court Fund was also used for new fencing for the courts.
"I personally want to thank all those wonderful alumni and friends who gave (and continue to give) to this special fund---your kindness is greatly appreciated by both myself, Coach Art Smith, and the women and men's tennis teams," stated Ketterman-Benner. "I do hope you will continue to give to this fund so that Moravian's Tennis facilities will always remain a source of pride for all."
