Northern
Charity Spotlight
USTA Northern is committed to giving back to the community and supporting important causes. One way the section will accomplish these goals in 2024 is by partnering with a tennis community or tennis nonprofit organization for a monthly charity fundraising initiative.
For this initiative, the chosen organization will be able to fundraise on the USTA Northern website for a month, during which time USTA Northern will match dollar-for-dollar up to $5,000. The organization will have the opportunity to promote the fundraiser both on the USTA Northern website and through their own channels and the section will provide support in the form of social media promotion and email outreach to USTA members.
