For the 2nd Year in a Row, Nelson County Life Magazine is a sponsor of the event.
2008 Wintergreen Tennis Spring Slam
The biggest and best tennis event of the year!
The proceeds from this tournament benefit The Wintergreen Nature Foundation and the Wintergreen Rescue Squad, two exceptional organizations that are an integral part of life here on the mountain and in the valley. Last year we made great progress towards our goal of having AEDs (Automated External Defibrillator) at every high traffic Wintergreen location, and this year in conjunction with the Rescue Squad, we will continue towards that goal.
To have a better sense of the many ways in which these organizations serve our community please click on these links to their websites:http://www.wtgfireresq.org/ http://www.twnf.org/index.asp.
