Ann Arbor Area Community Tennis Association | Ann Arbor, Michigan

We appreciate the $2,500 grant we received, which enabled us to purchase equipment, pay high school coaches, and buy necessary supplies. We offered a seven-week after-school intramural tennis program for sixth graders at six Ann Arbor Public Middle Schools. We surpassed our goal of 150 participants, reaching 190 students in total. The program concluded with an all-school tournament. Most students were beginners and learned tennis for the first time. Many have mentioned they’re now asking for a tennis racquet for their next birthday so they can continue playing with their friends.
