What is the annual tennis fundraiser? This is Mason Tennis Association's largest fundraiser of the year. We are raising funds through June 28th (although we accept donations throughout the year!).
Who can participate? Anyone who supports the tennis programs and facilities in Mason can participate. We ask local tennis players to seek sponsorship renewals and new sponsors. Only students are eligible for prizes.
How do I get a prize? Each student who secures a new Gold Level sponsorship of $500 will receive a prize.
How much money should I try to raise? That is up to you! We have had donations anywhere from $5 to over $5,000.
What does MTA use the money for? Funds raised by MTA are mainly used for maintenance and upkeep at the Helen Tallent Tennis Center. MTA has paid for large capital projects including new courts, sidewalks, and the Tower of Champions as well as smaller projects like painting, landscaping, and replacement of benches. MTA also pays for ongoing costs like utilities. MTA is currently gearing up for resurfacing and hitting wall projects and hopes to undertake a lighting project, too.
Is MTA a tax-exempt organization? Yes, MTA is considered a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
How do I get a sign at the tennis courts? MTA honors a contribution of $500 or more by placing a custom sign at the tennis courts for one year. After the initial contribution, a $400 contribution will keep the sign displayed annually. MTA is grateful for the tremendous support of the community as evidenced by all the signs displayed at the courts.
