For students in our tuition-free programs, the school day runs well past the final bell. Afternoons are for the tennis court, academic enrichment, and the mentors and teammates who help our kids grow into life champions. Showing up ready for all of it takes more than pencils and notebooks.
This fall, we’re teaming up with Edward Jones, our Match Point Sponsor, to launch a back-to-school drive for more than 100 of our students. Together, we’ll give them what they need for a strong year in the classroom and on the court.
What we’re collecting
Backpacks and tennis bags for 100+ students, plus the in-demand supplies to fill them. Every item comes from our back-to-school shopping list, which has instructions and easy-to-grab priority items.
