    2025 AWARD SPONSORS

    11th Hour Racing Rising Tide Award

    This award is given to a TeamFAME student who rises to meet challenges—especially those facing our oceans and environment. Like a rising tide that lifts all boats, this young leader uplifts their peers, cares deeply about their community, and takes meaningful action to protect the ocean. At the “11th hour”—when time is running out—they step forward with courage, creativity, and compassion. Their efforts inspire others and help create a brighter, cleaner future for all.

    FILA R.E.A.C.H. Award

    R.E.A.C.H. (Realizing Extraordinary Accomplishments with Courage & Humility) Award

    This award was created as homage to the accomplishments of Fila-sponsored athletes. The very first R.E.A.C.H Award recipient was Jennifer Capriati as she made one of the most inspirational comebacks in sports history, winning back-to-back Australian opens in 2001 & 2002. It is Fila’s hope that the R.E.A.C.H Award will inspire & motivate players in TeamFAME to persevere not only in the game of tennis, but in all aspects of life.

    TEAMFAME CHARACTER OF A CHAMPION AWARD

    This award honors a TeamFAME student who consistently demonstrates the character and values of a true champion—on and off the court. They are a positive role model whose actions reflect integrity, respect, and responsibility. Always community-minded, they embody resilience, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and a strong work ethic. Whether facing a challenge or helping a teammate, they lead with heart, effort, and a champion’s spirit.  

    presented in memory of ROBYN HOLLOWAY

    CHARACTER OF A CHAMPION AWARD IN MEMORY OF ROBYN HOLLOWAY, supported through the generosity of Mary Louise Cavanaugh

    As a member of the TeamFAME Advisory Board, Robyn Holloway dedicated countless hours with students and fellow supporters. Robyn's presence brought smiles and laughter to everyone who walked through the Canfield Learning Center. Newport was Robyn's happy place, and that happiness made the ITHF a better place. Robyn's brilliant spirit continues to shine on the faces of our TeamFAME students as well as fellow family and friends throughout our Newport community.

    Robyn embodied the idea that to whom much is given, much is expected. That we all have an obligation to pay it forward. It was her joy in giving back to those youth who needed a boost to get started on their road to happy, healthy, and productive lives. And to instill in young people the confidence to follow their dreams.

    This award is presented to a TeamFAME graduate who encompasses Robyn's generous spirit. This deserving student-athlete has compassion for her peers and is always spreading happiness both on and off the court. Robyn would be very proud of this students’ accomplishments and excited to support her next adventure in high school and beyond. We are forever grateful for the long-lasting impact that Robyn has on all the TeamFAME students.
