ABOUT
The Dr. Robert Brill Memorial Tennis Fund was formed in November 2021 by his family upon his passing. The Fund was created to commemorate and memorialize his unyielding character and integrity, as well as his love for the game of tennis and the community it imbued. He was a true gentleman who loved a true gentleman’s sport.
The mission of our fund is to support youth in their pursuit of the game of tennis with access to resources including (but not limited to) lessons, equipment, tournaments fees, camp fees and the like. Our aim is to fuel their growth and passion for the game, as he would have wanted. We love you dad.

From June Greene:
My dad started me playing tennis at the age of 2 and I have been with my long-time coach, Omar Gonzalez, ever since I was 4 years old. My forehand is my favorite shot and is very powerful and I have played a total of 281 USTA matches and won 82% of those so far (230).
I was the first girl in Burlington Township High School to win a title at the BCSL (Burlington County Scholastic League) Open and won the BCSL Open in both my freshman and sophomore year. I ended the year as number 1 in 2012, 2014, 2106 and 18 & under for district in 2019.
I really enjoy the competitive and mental aspect of tennist. Some of my favorite tennis players are Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Alcaraz, Swiatek and Nadal.
When I am not playing tennis, I enjoy walking my dog and cooking. I also like kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

About Our Fundraising:
In June of 2022 we kicked-off our first fundraising event: THE FAMILY, FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS COMMUNITY SOCIAL & TENNIS EVENT
On June 12, 2022, friends and family of Dr. Robert F. Brill gathered for a day of round-robin tennis with tennis pro (and longtime friend) Omar Gonzalez and his wife Kathleen. Omar and Kathleen created a day of fund and sport at the Maple Dawson Park in Moorestown NJ, in conjunction with the Moorestown Recreation Department, to encourage the community to come out for a fun and an interactive (optional) round-robin or just to say hello, spend some time and bring your dog for a treat!
Since then, the Dr. Robert Brill Memorial Tennis Fund has continued to receive donations and support from the wider community. To date we have supported 2 initiatives (to the left) of which we are very proud.
