Each year the Burlington Tennis Club presents two awards of great significance, the Kusserow Award and the Carpenter Award. Dr. Bert Kusserow was an early member of the Club noted for his playing ability, but above all else for his sportsmanship and manners on and of the tennis court. He suffered an untimely death in an automobile accident. In his memory, the Club established the Kusserow Award, presented annually to the adult member who best combines outstanding qualities of sportsmanship along with genuine goodwill toward humankind. The award is presented at the annual meeting.
