PREMIERE SPONSORS:

Berkeley Tennis Club - Premier Sponsor:  Beginning in 2007, Berkeley Tennis Club became the host site and volunteer base of the USTA Girls’ 18 National Championships.  One of the few 100-year+ clubs in the United States, the member-owned facility is rich in tennis history and will surely provide a terrific site for the event.  Many thanks to the membership and management for their support of the tournament.

The Claremont Resort & Spa - Premier Sponsor:  The Claremont Resort & Spa joined forces with the Tournament Committee in 2007 to become the host hotel and a site of tournament play.  Located adjacent to the Berkeley Tennis Club, the resort promises to provide comfortable and convenient accommodations to our tournament guests.

PLATINUM SPONSORS:

BTC Foundation - Platinum Sponsor: The BTC Foundation, a non-profit corporation, was organized in the fall of 2007 as the charitable arm of the Berkeley Tennis Club.  The Foundation generously organized a fundraising tennis event at which $10,000 was raised for the Nationals.  Many thanks to the Foundation Board and the Berkeley Tennis Community members that made the event a success.

GOLD SPONSORS:

National Tennis Championships - Gold Sponsor:  National Tennis Championships is the non-profit corporation founded by co-tournament directors Andrea Norman and Jennifer Pitzen to manage the event.

SILVER SPONSORS:

A. G. Ferrari Foods - Silver Sponsor:  A.G. Ferrari Foods joined the Nationals family in 2007, providing discounted lunches for the Player Luncheons and our tournament volunteers.

Berkeley Honda - Silver Sponsor:  Berkeley Honda is the provider of vehicles for our tournament transportation, a key component of the services we are proud to provide all tournament guests.  Transportation is provided to and from the Oakland International Airport and between the main tournament site, offsite play, and practice courts.

Inside Tennis - Silver Sponsor: Inside Tennis joined our team as a sponsor in 2002. While it has always given The Nationals outstanding pre- and post-tournament coverage in its award-winning magazine, the tournament also enjoys discounted advertising to aid in our publicity efforts.

The Dave and Ruth Norman Foundation - Silver Sponsor:  The Dave & Ruth Norman Foundation focuses on educational opportunities for students and particularly supports the efforts made by The Nationals to facilitate college recruitment at the College Coaches’ Forum.
