East Lake's North Pinellas YMCA is one of three Florida finalists in the "Share the Love' video contest sponsored by USTA Florida. 

The North Pinellas YMCA and other finalists submitted a video showing how the organizations would grow tennis in the community, if they were to receive a $2,000 grant. The other two Florida finalists are the Jax Youth Tennis Association in Jacksonville and the Micheal Grant Tennis Academy at Ponte Vedra Beach.

The top two vote-getters will receive a $2,000 "Share the Love" grant. USTA Florida will also visit the winning facility to host a Family Tennis Festival, free to the public. The third place winner will receive a free, one-year USTA Florida organizational membership, according to the USTA Florida website.

The public voting phase of the contest will be open until September 15, 2012. People can vote one time a day.
