Dr. Carol B. Alan
Dr. Carol B. Alan moved to Sumter and got involved in tennis in 2008. Since then she has become one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers in South Carolina.
In 2018 Carol served as president of the Sumter Tennis association, planned, organized and established a Kids Tennis Club that met weekly in April and May, initiated bi-weekly High School Play Days during the summer months, organized and developed a girls Junior Team Tennis team that competed at state, started a Sumter 2.5 women’s team that won the Pee Dee league title and was a runner-up at State, partnered with Sumter City Councilman Calvin Hastie to conduct a weekly Family Fun Night in one of the city’s under-served areas, integrated tennis into the Alice Drive Baptist Church All Sports Summer Camp, volunteered at all Sumter Tennis Association and Palmetto Tennis Center events and captained and/or played on numerous adult USTA League teams.
Carol’s involvement as a tennis player, a tennis mom and a South Carolina and Southern volunteer are particularly impressive because she also works full-time as an OB/GYN Specialist.
