CBRE Raises Almost $10,000 for East Palo Alto Tennis & Tutoring

CBRE’s Palo Alto office raised almost $10,000 for East Palo Alto Tennis & Tutoring (EPATT).

The Palo Alto office, with support from other Bay Area employees, managed to raise the almost $10,000 in only a few months.

Since 1988, EPATT has been impacting the lives of hundreds of East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park low income youth. Through partnerships with families, schools, and the local communities, EPATT promotes leadership, discipline, hard work and excellence among the 120 K-12 students. Using the unique mix one-on-one academic tutoring, tennis instruction, and parent engagement, EPATT strives to enrich the academic, athletic, and social skills of its participants.

Todd Husak, Managing Director, Palo Alto office said of the partnership, “I couldn’t be happier to be associated with an organization that provides children and teens the exposure to such great teachers and opportunities EPATT provides. They are changing lives through hard work, dynamic people, and partnerships that allow everything else to thrive. I look forward to continuing to grow the relationship and allow EPATT to help more young people.”

In the past 10 years, EPATT has made an enormous impact in its participants, for instance100% of EPATT seniors have graduated from high school compared with East Palo Alto’s average graduation of less than 50%, EPATT has facilitated more than 70 student scholarships to local private high schools, more than 10 EPATT alumni are now tennis coaches, several are US Professional Tennis Association certified and EPATT has engaged in over 2,000 Stanford student volunteers who have provided one-on-one tutoring. CBRE has found a valuable and strong partnership in working with the EPATT and hopes to see continued success and fundraising in the years to come.
