Member Stan Tomchin is hosting a "European Leadership Tour" with tennis Director Marty Hennessy for a number of children in VegasTennis.com's Marty Hennessy Jr. Tennis Foundation. Many Stirling Club members spearheaded this foundation 8 years ago and now boast helping introduce tennis, mentoring and education to thousands of at-risk youth annually. Their leadership program has a 100% success rate getting children into college on scholarship for tennis and academics. This summer, many of the foundation youth earned the opportunity to go to Wimbledon, attend leadership lunches and tours of the great European landmarks. Part of the experience includes lunch with Tim Henman's family and seats in his VIP box. The foundations captains from the leadership program were invited to attend, a special designation often referred to as the "seniors."

"The foundation has already changed my life, now I am going to Europe, I don't even know what to say," said Edgardo Ureta, who credits the foundation for getting him a scholarship to play tennis for Hartford University. "Most my friends are in trouble, one is in jail, none are in college and I'm on the deans council, going to Wimbledon and getting to meet many amazing people. So many days I am overwhelmed with happiness and appreciation for all of these opportunities."
