(RE)BUILD A #TENNISNATION

Read our article which highlights the true impact of COVID-19 on tennis in Canada and outlines why you should donate.

Tennis in Canada was soaring to new heights before COVID-19 brought all our plans and programs to a standstill. Despite the financial pain, we remain focused on leading the growth of tennis in our country and ensuring Canada remains a world-leading tennis nation, hence the launch of our latest fundraising campaign. With your help and support, we will take back the advantage. Help us rebuild our proven high-performance programs, and Canada’s hopes and dreams for continued success on the world stage. Help us rebuild a #TennisNation.

Make your donation now and have it personally matched dollar for dollar by Canadian tennis stars Bianca Andreescu and Félix Auger-Aliassime, as well as Co-CEO of Spin Master, Anton Rabie, up to $50,000 each. In an unprecedented step, a group of Tennis Canada’s current and former board members have also teamed up to match donations dollar for dollar up to $200,000. Meanwhile, a group of Canadian Tennis Hall of Fame inductees are matching up to $50,000.

That means your donation is worth up to an incredible nine times its initial amount.

WHY IS TENNIS CANADA RUNNING THIS CAMPAIGN?

Tennis Canada will lose a staggering $17 million in 2020. The Rogers Cup presented by National Bank events in Toronto and Montreal are the engine of the development of tennis in Canada. In fact, 90% of the money that we successfully invest in the development of our sport each year comes from the revenues generated by our tournaments. Following their postponement, grassroots tennis program cuts, less competitions and reduced investment in the successful high-performance system have resulted in a drastically different landscape for tennis in Canada.

A serious shortfall in the resources necessary to fund a world-class, high-performance program could extend for at least five years. Canada’s younger generation of athletes could be deprived of the necessary support to help them exceed their own expectations and develop into future Canadian champions. Tennis Canada is ready and committed to rebuild this tennis nation with the help of the successful ‘graduates’ of the Montreal NTC program who inspire Canadians from coast to coast with their record-breaking performances.

Donating today will help give our proven high-performance program what it takes to reach our goals and support our grassroots tennis initiatives across the country.

Thank you for your support
