We’re excited to share that the USTA Mid-Atlantic Foundation’s 2024 Annual Report is now available, and it’s filled with the stories, milestones, and momentum you helped create.
Because of your support, tennis across the Mid-Atlantic thrived in 2024. We brought people together, broke down barriers, and created powerful ripple effects in schools, neighborhoods, and communities of every kind.
This report is a celebration of what we can accomplish together when we believe in the power of tennis to change lives.
A Look at What You Made Possible in 2024:
- 91,400 students were introduced to tennis during school PE classes, sparking healthy habits, fun, and friendship from an early age.
- 82 scholarships were awarded to junior players (our highest number ever), helping young athletes stay in the game and reach for their goals.
- Girls Rule the Court™ continued its incredible growth, now reaching 1,000+ girls across the region and boosting confidence, leadership, and resilience.
- The Tennis Creates Gala brought us all together and raised over $500,000 to power programs that uplift and unite.
These incredible milestones are evidence of what happens when a community rallies around the belief that everyone, regardless of background, income, or ability, deserves access to the benefits of tennis.
Why It Matters
Tennis is a vehicle for opportunity, growth, and connection. In 2024, we saw that come to life again and again:
- 88 community programs brought people together across neighborhoods, ages, and income levels.
- Programs served players ages 5 to 85, helping reduce stress, improve physical and mental health, and build social connections.
- 70% of players used public courts to play, showing how vital it is to invest in accessible, local tennis spaces.
- And participation across the region surged: 1.4 million Mid-Atlantic residents played tennis, including 53,000 brand-new players, and the highest retention rate across all USTA Sections.
And here’s the best part: This momentum belongs to all of us. Your support, whether as a donor, player, volunteer, or advocate, made it possible.
Take a Look. Then Take the Next Step.
