PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION
As the fundraising arm of the Southwest Section, the Southwest Tennis Foundation, Inc. provides financial support for the mission of the section to "promote and develop the growth of tennis" throughout Arizona, New Mexico and El Paso County, Texas.
Since the creation of the Foundation in 1996, the Foundation has raised funds and given many thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants to promising junior players, and to programs benefiting junior players and special populations such as wheelchair players within the section.
Exciting things have been happening, with more and more after school programs linking young players to their schools
while teaching them "the sport of a lifetime".
Additionally, adult education scholarships have helped get volunteers to workshops that give them the skills to develop and improve grassroots programs.

Kids like these from Tucson's Marty Birdman Tennis Program are direct recipients of funds from the Southwest Tennis Foundation. The foundation is 100% reliant on contributions to give kids like these the chance to learn this great sport, so please donate.
