5th Annual Summer Smash Fundraising Challenge!
May 15 - June 30, 2026
What is Summer Smash?
Summer Smash is USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation’s annual peer-to-peer fundraising challenge which supports our Junior Player Scholarship fund. The scholarship helps Mid-Atlantic youth players cover costs associated with tennis such as lessons, equipment, and more, regardless of financial means.
Why It Matters
Since 2018, scholarship applications have grown by almost 3,000%. Behind every application is a young player who wants to compete, improve, and belong. Your support makes that possible.
Your opportunity
- Form or join a fundraising team
- Spread the word through social media, emails, and conversations
- Recruit others: captains, players, and friends
- The top 3 teams that raise the most money will win exclusive prizes, including suite hospitality at the Mubadala Citi DC Open!
The challenge runs May 15 - June 30.
All funds raised go directly to junior scholarships.
