Supporting Tennis in Decatur Since 1985

The Decatur Community Tennis Foundation was founded in 1985 and its mission is to support community tennis in the Decatur, Illinois area. From 1999-2023, the organization ran the USTA/Ursula Beck Pro Tennis Classic which featured professional male players competing for ATP ranking points and $25,000 in prize money. The proceeds from this tournament and other donations enabled the organization to financially support all facets of tennis in the Decatur area. Juniors, adults, schools as well as our public tennis facility were benefactors of our 501 (c) 3 organization.
