We also just wrapped up our 13th Annual Presentation at McKenzie Jr. High 🎉 Thanks to the support of the USTA and our loving network of friends and family, we were able to award tennis and pickleball equipment as well as cash donations.

We’re thrilled to share that the Rio Rico High School Girls Tennis Team in Arizona is now fully equipped with racquets! 💪✨ Your generous support—especially from our incredible friends at North Ranch Country Club—made this possible. Because of you, these young athletes are empowered to grow, compete, and thrive on and off the court!
