Hi friends,

Youth tennis players in the Mid-Atlantic need your support! The USTA Mid-Atlantic's Summer Smash fundraising challenge is raising money and awareness for the Junior Player Scholarship Program.

And thanks to a generous donor, all NEW and INCREASED donations over last year will be matched! This is an incredible opportunity to double your impact on the lives of young, aspiring tennis players.

Your participation in this challenge will directly support junior players at all levels, helping to alleviate costs associated with lessons, classes, camps, equipment, and more. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a significant difference in the lives of these young athletes. Together, let's go beyond our previous achievements and make an even greater impact this year!

Summer Smash is an excellent opportunity for you to mobilize your network of friends, family, colleagues, coaches, and of course, your team to support aspiring tennis players throughout the Mid-Atlantic. We've also added some competitive incentive for you and your tennis tribe to raise money! Top fundraisers will be eligible for one of the following prizes:
