Neville Bertalli’s Kooyong Foundation involvement started from him wanting to give back to the tennis Club he has been a member of for six decades.
The Foundation, designed to enhance young people’s lives and create opportunities through tennis, presented Bertalli, a long-time philanthropist, with the perfect opportunity to make a difference.
“It’s been a very good Club to myself and my wife Di, and we’ve got nine family members at Kooyong, so we wanted to put some money and effort back into the Club,” Bertalli said.
“The Foundation takes them in from a young age, so I think that’s a good time to bring them into a Club and welcome them, and I’m sure the scholarship holders would enjoy the camaraderie and social benefits of being in this program.”
