Birmingham Dedication


In July 2010, Betty Birmingham's husband, Bruce, lost a brave battle with liver cancer. At Wednesday's officials' morning meeting, Tennis Canada CEO Michael Downey made a special presentation to Betty in honour of her husband with a plaque to rename our lounge the "Birmingham Officials' Lounge". In addition, Betty & Bruce have donated some funds to refurbish the lounge for next year's Roger's Cup. They have also renewed their gift to Wheelchair tennis in Canada for another 5 years. Wow, two very special people indeed!
