Putnam’s love for tennis: Abbeville resident donates personal money to help finish tennis courts in A.A. Comeaux Park
Sylvia Putnam is a longtime Abbeville resident.
She is also an avid tennis fan.
Through a generous donation, Putnam has helped to make tennis more enjoyable for everyone in the city that she calls home.
Putnam donated funds to the city to help complete the renovation of the tennis courts at A.A. Comeaux Park. Last year, the city council approved around $200,000 for the renovation. Putnam’s donation helped finalize the project.
“I have played tennis all my life,” Putnam said. “It is such a wonderful sport.”
