Tennis News You Can Use
In 2020 this site donated the proceeds from this site to the USTA “Rally to Rebuild” initiative which was sponsored by the USTA Foundation. Last week USTA members received an email from Chris Evert announcing the follow-on to that campaign, “Rally for the Future.” Both benefit the National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) network. The NJTL is an in-school tennis and education program targeted at under-resourced youth across the country.
In case anyone has been wondering how you can personally support the USTA Strategic Priority to “Attract, engage and retain new generations of diverse tennis participants,” an easy way to do that is by writing a check in support of NJTL. When I was making revisions to this site’s “About” page earlier this month I indicated that the beneficiary for this year’s proceeds from this site were still under consideration and that the USTA Foundation was the clubhouse leader. The delay in commitment was to see what the focus would be for this year’s fundraising efforts. I can get behind NJTL.
You can learn more about how to get involved and contribute at the USTA Foundation website.
