Thanks to the generosity of two Tuscaloosa families, along with several other donors, the University of Alabama’s wheelchair tennis team and University Recreation will soon benefit from a new facility.

A $500,000 gift commitment, made through Parker Towing Co. by Tim and Cathy Parker and Charlie and Alice Haun, along with their families, will help fund construction of a tennis facility on Peter Bryce Boulevard near the Student Recreation Center on the UA campus.

The wheelchair tennis team, part of the university’s Adapted Athletics program housed in the College of Education, has won five national championships since 2012 and currently uses shared space in Stran-Hardin Arena for its practices and equipment storage.
