The clinics will take place over the next 12 months at community
centers in select cities across the country, aligning with Tiafoe’s
professional tournament schedule. Each clinic will feature Tiafoe
working with a small group of young players, inspiring further
participation in the sport and promoting the benefits of
community-based athletic programs. The full schedule of clinics
will be announced on a rolling basis, with clinics already
confirmed in cities including New York, Miami, Atlanta and Houston.
The clinics are a result of the brand’s work with the Frances
Tiafoe Fund, a fund focused on bringing together tennis and
education to increase access for under-resourced youth. CLIF was
one of the first corporate supporters of the Frances Tiafoe Fund,
which was launched in July.
“Joining CLIF and having their support to bring these clinics to
life is a very meaningful personal achievement as my own tennis
career started at the Junior Tennis Champions Center (JTCC) in
Maryland, a community center my father helped build,” said Tiafoe.
“I’ve witnessed firsthand the benefits of community clinics,
especially in neighborhoods that don’t typically have access to
premier athletic opportunities. Through these clinics, I hope to
help young players from diverse backgrounds realize the physical
and mental benefits of tennis.”
The partnership with Tiafoe and CLIF continues the work of the
CLIF CORPS Athlete Coalition, an initiative that works with athlete
and organization partners to increase equity and access to sports
and the outdoors. Launched in 2022, the coalition is part of CLIF’s
long-standing community service program, CLIF CORPS. Tiafoe joins
an impressive list of world-renowned athletes and national
nonprofit organizations, including Outdoor Afro and the
VOICEINSPORT Foundation, that CLIF CORPS has partnered with to make
a positive impact.
“At CLIF, we’re motivated to make a difference in the world, and
by supporting the needs of our athlete partners and the causes they
care about, we can do just that,” said Brooke Donberg, Senior
Manager of Partnerships at CLIF. “What makes Frances an inspiring
partner for the CLIF CORPS Athlete Coalition is his unrivaled
athletic ability and his passion and energy for giving back. We’re
honored to support Frances and the Frances Tiafoe Fund to help kids
across the country realize the benefits of tennis.”
Giving back to communities is a core aspect of CLIF's business,
which includes dedicating a portion of sales to nonprofit
organizations, and since 2001, employee donations exceeding $72
million and more than 191,000 service hours. CLIF CORPS is the
embodiment of CLIF’s Community Aspiration, one of the business’s
five core tenets, which focuses on community partnerships and
support, product donations, and paid time for volunteering, with
employees getting to contribute to causes of their choosing.
