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.
