My Project

To equip and support a newly formed girls' tennis team at a low-income school, enabling new players to experience the benefits of sports participation.

We are thrilled to introduce our new girls' tennis team, made up entirely of first-time players from low-income backgrounds.

Our goal is to provide these students with the equipment and resources they need to learn and excel in tennis. Many of these girls have never had the opportunity to participate in organized sports due to financial constraints, and this project will open doors to physical activity, teamwork, and personal development.

Your support will give these young athletes the chance to participate in a sport that promotes health, confidence, and resilience. The experience of being part of a team will help them develop crucial life skills and foster a sense of community and belonging. By donating, you will be directly contributing to the growth and success of these new players, ensuring they have the tools and encouragement needed to thrive on and off the court. We are seeking tennis rackets for beginners, trainer tennis balls, and training aids. Together, we can inspire a new generation of female athletes and show them that their community stands behind them. Let's serve up some success for these deserving girls!
