AWARD DESCRIPTION:
The Richard P. Garmany Tennis & Leadership Award was established in 2011 to honor the late Richard P. Garmany, a long-time recreational tennis player who unselfishly gave his time and energy to promote the sport of tennis. This award recognizes one male and one female Senior Games Tennis Participant who through guidance and by their example have encouraged and inspired others to play tennis, assume leadership roles and provide education to the tennis community. This award is supported by the Richard P. Garmany Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.*
ABOUT RICHARD P. GARMANY:
Before his death in 2008, Mr. Garmany, a former executive at Aetna, created a donor-advised fund at the Hartford Foundation through his will. Since then, grants totaling more than $1 million have been awarded to support dozens of nonprofits, including Hartford Hospital, the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network, the Hartford Symphony Orchestra and the Connecticut River Watershed Council.
We are currently accepting nominations for this year's Richard P. Garmany Award.
