The Pequot Running Club in Southport Connecticut announces its support of First Serve Bridgeport one of the many local charities it has assisted over the years. Packer Wilbur, founder of the Club, presents a check to Charley Biggs, Board Member of First Serve Bridgeport.

First Serve Bridgeport is a National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) program, validated and endorsed by the United States Tennis Association (USTA), that provides unique tennis, educational, and growth opportunities, which collectively serve to strengthen character and open a pathway to success for less-advantaged children living in Bridgeport, CT. We support and help develop skills through academics, tennis and mentoring.

Our end-goal is spectacularly simple and straightforward: to improve the lives of under-privileged and at-risk children, both now and in their futures.

And we do this by teaching them skills and engaging them in experiences that will further their potential.

The Pequot Running Club has been in existence for 47 years and is the sponsor of the Thanksgiving Day Five Mile Race in Southport Connecticut as well as other running and walking events. Over the years, the Club has given more than $1,000,000 to local charities.
