WHO WE ARE
The Night at the Net fundraiser provides the opportunity for community supporters to gather together for an evening of dinner, dancing, games and auctions in order to raise scholarship and performance funds for the elite student athletes of the FSU Women's Tennis program.
On March 26,2023, this amazing community and university partnership was proud to present $66,600 to the FSU Women's Tennis program.
A NOTE FROM SHARON FALLON, EVENT FOUNDER & 2022, 2023 CO-CHAIR
Looking Back and Moving Forward....
As I reflect upon the infancy of Night at the Net, I am moved by the fact that so many supporters of FSU Women's Tennis have created a vehicle to highlight how important this sport and this team really are. In mid-2021, Dent Ward and I conceptualized an evening to showcase that support. The inaugural year, 2022, blew us away. We raised $53,000, and it turned out that was only the beginning. In 2023, the momentum continued and again our expectations were surpassed by raising over $63,000. The committee and event supporters have created a blueprint that will continue for years to come. I am so proud of the many people who make celebrating and supporting these outstanding student athletes a priority by graciously giving their time, talents, and resources. Thank you!
