provides companies and individuals with cause-related marketing
benefits and a strong community association. Mardy’s Tennis &
Jake’s Music Fest is a two-day event that consists of a unique
combination of tennis and music. It begins on Friday, December 10,
with a Kids’ Tennis Clinic followed by a Concert by country music
artist Jake Owen that evening. The Event will continue on Saturday,
December 11, with a Luncheon and Live and Silent Auction and Tennis
Exhibition featuring Mardy Fish and current and former touring
tennis professionals in a singles and doubles match. In 2006, Mardy
decided to form his own foundation and join forces with his
childhood friend country singer Jake Owen to create an event that
would benefit the Vero Beach community through a combination of his
and Jake’s greatest loves; tennis and music. The result was Mardy’s
Tennis & Jake’s Music Fest to Benefit the Mardy Fish Foundation.
Fish and Owen have been joined at the Event by professional athletes
and celebrities throughout the years.
Beneficiary: The Mardy Fish
Foundation was established to support youth organizations in Indian
River County. The Foundation has utilized funds from Mardy’s Tennis
& Jake’s Music Fest to provide after school programs in the
community. The Foundation opened its first after school program,
Pelican Island Elementary School/Mardy Fish Music Club and Health &
Fitness Club, in 2007 which provides a place for children to go and
partake in various activities that will help them better themselves
using sports, music, art and dance. The Mardy Fish Foundation
expanded its after school program in 2009 with the addition of three
after school programs at Glendale Elementary, JA Thompson Magnet
Elementary, Citrus Elementary and Sebastian Elementary, and will add
programs at Vero Beach Elementary, Treasure Coast Elementary,
Fellsmere Elementary, Liberty Magnet Elementary and Dodgertown
Elementary this year.
Mardy’s Kids on Courts is another program initiated by the
Foundation in 2009. The city-wide program allows local youth to
improve their tennis skills through competition while instilling the
many life-lessons tennis has to offer. In addition, the Foundation
will continue to support other youth organizations, including the
Boys & Girls Club of Vero Beach and The Youth Guidance Foundation
which uses funds raised by the Mardy Fish Foundation to provide
children the opportunity to attend summer camp and participate in
sports and music programs.s
