Support The Courts
The mission of Support The Courts is to rebuild and revitalize the Beulah courts, and keep playing, laughing, and connecting lakeside.
About Support The Courts:
Support The Courts is a community-powered grassroots movement with one shared mission: rebuild and resurface the Village of Beulah’s courts for everyone who gathers by the lake.
STC is a growing team of civic-minded neighbors, local and visiting players, and dedicated supporters committed to finishing what we started—raising the remaining funds through monthly appeals and providing regular project updates to bring durable, safe courts to our community.

Inspired Giving Is Spreading — Keep the Rally Going
"Watching the donations grow—and seeing others step forward—inspired us to do more."
That inspiration led one Beulah family, whose roots trace back generations of summers here, to make an extraordinary commitment:$5,000 personally
$5,000 through their employer match
Together, they've created a $10,000 dollar-for-dollar matching challenge for our community.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, we've now surpassed the $65,000 Phase I fundraising goal to rebuild the Village Park pickleball court. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, business, nonprofit partner, and advocate who made this milestone possible.
The rally isn't over. Every matching dollar still waiting to be unlocked—and every gift beyond the Phase I goal—will help launch Phase II: resurfacing the Village Park tennis court to create a safe, durable, multi-use playing surface for both tennis and pickleball.
Every gift made today is doubled through the matching challenge and, for many donors, tripled through an employer match.One neighbor gives... and another follows. That's how momentum grows.
Together, we're building more than courts. We're creating a lasting place where families gather, friendships flourish, and future generations enjoy the very best of Village Park.
The match is live. The rally continues. Help unlock every remaining matching dollar and carry this momentum into Phase II.Ways to Give

Founding Supporters
(2022 - October 2025)
Founding Supporters are the early believers who stepped forward when the need first emerged. Beginning in 2022, their collective generosity, culminating $40,000 in early contributions—sparked what would become Support the Courts (STC): Act II and made this community-powered movement possible. Their leadership giving created momentum, inspired broader participation, and laid the groundwork for the progress we celebrate today. We honor these supporters with deep appreciation for helping turn vision into action.
Where Play, Connection, and Community meet Gratitude
This project exists because of neighbors and visitors who care. We gratefully acknowledge the donors, advocates, and volunteers who have supported the ongoing effort to rebuild and revitalize the Beulah Courts. Their generosity and encouragement have laid the foundation for Phase 1 in 2026, with additional phases to follow as funds become available. If you are considering getting involved, we encourage you to reach out to any of the individuals listed here. Their participation reflects the fellowship, stewardship, and community spirit behind this initiative.
Thank you for being part of what makes Beulah a place to gather, play, and connect.
Thank You to Our Supporting Businesses and Nonprofit Partners.
Endorsed by the Benzie Sunrise Rotary Foundation — your grant support is helping carry this project to the finish line.

Thank You to Our Match-Unlocking Donors
