Be a Champion Beyond the Baseline - Join Summer Smash!

Calling all passionate tennis lovers—this is your moment.

This summer, the court becomes more than a place to play—it becomes a platform to change lives. Summer Smash, our annual peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, powers the USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation’s Junior Scholarship Program, helping young athletes from our region gain access to the transformative benefits of tennis.

Every dollar you raise directly supports junior players by covering training costs, equipment, and tournament fees—breaking down barriers and opening doors. When you fundraise for Summer Smash, you’re not just promoting tennis—you’re investing in:

• Opportunity
• Character-building
• A lifelong love for the game

You’ll help a young athlete swing toward success—on and off the court!

A 2,760% Increase in Need—Let’s Rise to the Challenge

The demand for financial support from aspiring young tennis players has skyrocketed by 2,760% over the past six years. The need is greater than ever—and so is our resolve.
