We are seeking donations that the Southwest Tennis Foundation can offer to raise funds to provide grants for innovative programs that support and develop a wide range of tennis activities and education opportunities for youth, special populations and diverse groups, such as wheelchair tennis.

The mission of the non-profit Southwest Tennis Foundation (Tax ID 860799204) is to promote and develop the growth of tennis through education and youth activities.  The Foundation provides youth camp assistance, adaptive tennis needs and grants to schools and organizations across the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico & El Paso).  Over the past few years, we’ve given out more than $80,000 in grants and adaptive/youth assistance.

Each year we hold a silent auction during the United States Tennis Association Southwest Section Hall of Fame and Awards ceremony to raise funds for the Foundations youth/adaptive population and program grants.  This year it will take place on November 4, 2023, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort in Scottsdale, AZ.  Besides 200 passionate tennis and sports enthusiasts from Arizona, New Mexico & El Paso that will attend the event and bid on items offered, our entire USTA Southwest membership of 12,500 enthusiastic tennis players will see these items through our newsletter, website and social media channels.

A donation of tickets, gift certificate or item would be greatly appreciated for our silent auction. We request the value of these donations to be between $100 - $400, if possible.  We would need the item(s) by 11/01/23. Please contact Brooke Damore at swtf@southwest.usta.com or 602-412-3596 to arrange pick up or please mail item to: Southwest Tennis Foundation, 7010 E. Acoma Dr. Suite 201, Scottsdale, AZ 85254.

Thank you for considering this request.
