Local philanthropist Kimberly V. Strauss is donating $500,000 to the tennis program at FAU. This is the largest donation FAU has received for tennis.
The tennis facility will be named after Strauss, allowing the team to have more lighting. The new lighting allows the team to hold more competitions in Boca Raton, along with more night practices. The university plans to finish the lighting project before 2022.
This is not the first time Strauss has made a large donation to the program. Strauss donated $100,000 in 2021 to upgrade the tennis lounge within the Oxley Center.
