CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- The Inner City Tennis Project, an organization helping Cincinnati's youth since 1982, is hosting a tournament this weekend at Kenwood Country Club.

The tournament provides competitive play for participants of all skill levels. More importantly, the tournament provides funding and awareness for a program benefiting hundreds of inner-City children.  

The organization has been providing tennis lessons to local juniors on a daily basis giving kids free equipment, shoes, clothes and guidance along the way.

The organization has been very successful. Children in the inner-City are seeing that tennis can teach them to be more complete, can give them something positive to do in the summer and lead to a better life.
