Legacy Ambassador Karen Matthews

As a passionate advocate for the special needs community and a dedicated entrepreneur, I’m thrilled to serve as an ambassador for Love Serving Autism this year. My journey began with a deep desire to support special needs children, fueled by my studies in Psychology and hands-on experience with children on the spectrum. This path led me to the world of entrepreneurship, where I’ve been able to leverage my skills to make a meaningful impact.

Now, as a board member for Love Serving Autism, I’m eager to combine my love for tennis with my commitment to this cause. Tennis has always been more than just a sport to me; it’s a powerful tool for therapy and education, offering a unique way to enhance life skills and independence for those with special needs. My goal is to raise funds to support Love Serving Autism’s mission, helping to expand their incredible programs and reach more families. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these children and their families, celebrating every milestone on and off the tennis court.

A time to honor our ambassadors and raise funds and awareness.

The mission of the annual Match Point Gala is to celebrate and honor those nominated as “Legacy Ambassadors.” These are community partners and individuals who have made significant contributions through participation, awareness campaigns, and fundraising.

Their efforts and the funds raised catalyze the development and expansion of Love Serving Autism’s therapeutic programs. These programs create an inclusive and accepting community for neurodiverse individuals, on and off the courts.
