Meet our Founder
Dr. Daniela Atanassova is an internationally recognized pediatrician who was honored as the Top Pediatrician of the Decade by IAOTP. She has dedicated over half her life to treating children in both clinical and emergency room settings, blending her medical expertise with genuine compassion. Fluent in five languages, Dr. Atanassova has authored publications in both American and Bulgarian medical journals and has raised two tennis champions, sharing her love for sports and discipline with her family.
Tragically, she lost her 20-year-old daughter, Stefani Lineva, whose passion for tennis and medicine was truly contagious. Inspired by Stefani’s spirit, Dr. Atanassova founded the StefanieForever20 Foundation, which promotes sports, education, and donation opportunities for children, ensuring they have access to youth empowerment initiatives. A strong advocate for preventive medicine, she believes, “From helping children learn how to properly breathe and develop strong bodies and minds, we can invest in their future.” She actively teaches and promotes nutrition, disease prevention, and sports psychology, blending science with practical guidance to empower children to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.
In addition, Dr. Atanassova is the author of a children's medical book, reflecting her commitment to making complex medical knowledge accessible, fun, and educational for young readers worldwide. Her passion for sports is also evident as she supports local tennis events and is involved in establishing a tennis academy, fostering the next generation of athletes.
OUR HISTORY
The StefanieForever20 Foundation was established in loving memory of Stefani Lineva, a 20-year-old sophomore at Binghamton University and a promising tennis star. She achieved remarkable success as the singles Northeast-10 Conference champion in October 2016, was a former National Player, and held the #1 ranking in the Eastern Section across the 10’s, 12’s, 14’s, and 16’s age groups.
Tragically, on December 3, 2016, Stefani lost her life in a hit-and-run accident, but her legacy endures through her passion for tennis and her commitment to inspiring others. The foundation carries on her mission by providing donation opportunities that empower young athletes, particularly women, to pursue their dreams in tennis and sports. Through various tennis events, mentorship, and resources, we help them thrive both on and off the court, fostering youth empowerment in the process.
OUR INSPIRATION
Daniela Atanassova and Daniel Linev are the founders of the organization, motivated by their passion to honor the legacy of Stefani Lineva, a beloved daughter and sister. Their shared love for tennis and sports led them to create initiatives that provide underprivileged children—especially girls—with valuable donation opportunities to play tennis. By collecting used and outfitted gear and clothing, they travel around the world to coach and mentor young athletes, fostering confidence, discipline, and a love for the sport through their tennis academy.
Their efforts have inspired other young National Tennis players from the USA to join them in establishing annual tennis events and mission trips. The foundation focuses on empowering children in Central and South America, as well as Africa, with a mission to uplift all children through tennis. In particular, they aim to support young women by providing the resources and tools to pursue their dreams both on and off the court, promoting youth empowerment.
