Whirlwind Johnson Foundation

Our mission is to restore and preserve the home, tennis court, garden, and legacy of Dr. Robert Walter “Whirlwind” Johnson for generations to come. "Dr. J" as his players called him, would become a driving force in not only integrating the sport of tennis, but also producing some of it's most recognized champions. From a small house in Lynchburg, he and his players made an impact across the globe.

While we are in the beginning stages of executing our plans with the home, tennis court and garden of Dr. J, we plan to create a safe space for the community to learn the sport of tennis, a hub to educate visitors and children about the  significant impact Dr. Johnson had in the Lynchburg community, enjoy the green space and create meeting space for other non-profits to use in the home while creating a small museum of tennis memorabilia.
