Exciting Winter Leads to Productive Spring

Tennis Racquets for Kids Inc., had an exceptional winter. Racquets were received from a variety of states including Maine, Texas, New York, New Jersey and Florida. Many were collected as Mitzvah projects or community service, but the majority of racquets were donated by individuals wanting to help. We try to restring the racquets and re-grip them to make them like new. However, given budgetary restraints and the loss of our stringer who donated his time, this became more challenging. We are happy to say that racquet donations were made to the Bosse School district, Indiana, Fast Break Sports inner city tennis program, Los Angeles, Sierra Linda High School, Arizona, Valwood School, Georgia, After School Programs in Detroit Michigan, and individual families. Our goal is to give less fortunate children a chance to experience the game of tennis. We are grateful to all of the individuals who chose to send or drop off their used racquets to make a child's day. We are encouraged by the leadership qualities and dedication to community service of the children that collected racquets via school or church drives, or mitzvah projects. They understand what it means to pay it forward. We ask everyone to donate For the Love of the Game!!
