There are so many fun and exciting ways you can raise money for LTA Tennis Foundation.
Whether you are holding a bake sale, running a tennis-themed event or taking part in a challenge, every pound raised will help us to achieve our mission of improving lives through tennis.
Fundraising on your own
Take on a challenge like running 5k daily for a month or tackling a once-in-a-lifetime trek to push yourself while raising funds. Host a cake sale with friends or your sports club. Or have a clear-out: sell unwanted items at a car boot sale or online and donate a portion.
Fundraising at your tennis club
Host a 24-hour tennis-athon with matches or activities to raise funds through entry fees and sponsorship. Add fun with fancy dress tennis sessions and themed social events like BBQs or Christmas parties, including raffles or auctions. Or organise a charity tournament and donate entry fees, boosting funds with extra activities.
Fundraising at school or work
Host a quiz night with entry donations or fun extras like asking teams to purchase jokers to boost funds. Organise a dress up or dress down day at work or school for a small donation. Or run a tennis tournament in your local area, charging entry fees and offering a prize to engage participants.
