Fundraising

Every pound you raise at your local tennis event makes a real difference to vulnerable children around the world.

Duyên, three, picks a storybook to read from the library in her new preschool in Hua Ngai Commune, Dien Bien Province in Vietnam.

£10 could buy blankets to prevent five children catching pneumonia.
£20 could buy a kit containing simple items to treat children suffering from diarrhoea.
£50 could buy vaccinations to protect a class of 50 children from catching measles.
£100 could buy a family a food basket that will last them a whole month.

Fundraising for Players

You can raise sponsorship by downloading a sponsorship form or by setting up a fundraising page on www.justgiving.com/stc. Make your page as interesting and engaging as possible to really attract your friends and family to support you.

Don't forget that if you excel in your fundraising you could win a place at the Festival of Tennis.

Tournament Organisers

You can charge an entry fee or download a sponsorship form for your players, but there are many ways of encouraging people to raise sponsorship money. To help you out, we’re offering the fantastic incentive for you and your players to be invited to the The Festival of Tennis.
