How do I get a prize? Each junior player who raises $500 or more 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 and resurfacing. MTA is currently gearing up for a large lighting project.
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.
