When you give to WTEF, you’re not making a donation — you’re making a difference that compounds over time. You’re the reason a student can pick up a racket without worrying about cost. You’re the reason a first-generation college student has someone in their corner. You’re the reason this work has lasted 70 years, and will last 70 more.

Choose your way to give below, and thank you for being part of our mission to build life champions.
