Kathy Edwards, President and CEO of An Achievable Dream, was pleased that Alan Witt accepted the honor. “We are thrilled that Alan will serve as the Honorary Chairman of An Achievable Dream’s 24th Annual Tennis Ball. He has been a tremendous supporter and friend to our organization since it began. I know Alan will bring his usual enthusiasm and charm to lead a very successful and meaningful Tennis Ball.”

“PBMares has been a long-time supporter of An Achievable Dream and I am proud to serve as this year’s honorary chairman of the Tennis Ball,” said Witt. “I remember when my dear friend and community leader Walter Segaloff created the summer and after school tutoring and tennis program in 1992. The fact that under his leadership and guidance, his original vision grew into what is now a highly successful, nationally recognized K–12 public/private partnership is a testament to his passion for the youth of our community. We can all learn from the example he set.”
Segaloff passed in 2013. Proceeds from the event help support the SAME ® (social, academic and moral education) curriculum that provides educational and enrichment opportunities for students.
