💚 THE GIFT OF TENNIS… THE JOY OF GIVING BACK! 🎾

What an incredibly heartwarming visit to Grassroots Junior Tennis in Palm Springs! ☀️

We had the wonderful opportunity to support Coach Kay Butler, Founder and Executive Director, whose passion for tennis and dedication to children are truly inspiring! ❤️

Three times a week, Coach Kay and her team generously hosts FREE tennis clinics for local children, providing rackets, shirts, equipment, and instruction. Her program welcomes any child who registers, completely free of charge!

At Tennis Serves Others, we believe tennis is so much more than a sport. It builds confidence, teaches discipline and sportsmanship, creates friendships, and opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Through our TSO GiveBack program, we were incredibly proud to present a $1,500 grant to Grassroots Junior Tennis to help support Coach Kay’s program at a time when funding is critically needed.

We absolutely LOVE Coach Kay and these KIDS! 🥰 We had the BEST time watching their excitement, enthusiasm, and pure joy on the courts!

💜 TO OUR AMAZING TSO MEMBERS — THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU! 💚

Your membership matters! Whether you attend our events or simply support TSO through your annual membership, YOU help us bring the gift of tennis to underserved youth in our communities.

Thank you, Coach Kay, for all you do. We are honored to support your beautiful mission! grassrootstennis

💚 ONE MISSION. MULTIPLE CHAPTERS. ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE!💜

At Tennis Serves Others, we believe the power of collaboration, friendship, and shared ideas makes us stronger together! 💕

Our very own Rhonda Glasscock, VP of Beneficiaries, recently connected with Veronica Pulley, Nashville Chapter President, for a wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and strengthen the bonds between our TSO chapters!

Their conversations focused on our beneficiary selection and vetting processes, building meaningful relationships with nonprofit partners, and exploring new ways to maximize our charitable impact.

But beyond the planning and sharing of best practices, it’s about something even more special—women supporting women, leaders learning from one another, and chapters united by a common purpose: SERVING OTHERS! ❤️

As TSO continues to grow, these relationships and collaborations are what make our organization so special. Different communities, different ideas, but ONE shared heart for giving!

Thank you, Rhonda and Veronica, for your leadership, dedication, and commitment to strengthening our TSO family across chapters.

Together, we can do so much more! 💜💚

🎾💜💚 NEW GAME, SAME MISSION — SERVING OTHERS!

Our TSO Nashville ladies traded their tennis racquets for padel racquets at Padel Haus, learning a new sport and enjoying a little friendly competition before gathering for a fun and productive membership meeting!

Together TSO ideas were shared about exciting opportunities to serve, support, and foster hope in 2027! 💕

A special THANK YOU to all the wonderful ladies who generously donated to Amelia’s Closet, a Middle Tennessee nonprofit helping women rebuild their lives through professional clothing, interview preparation, and encouragement.

We are so grateful for our Nashville members and their incredible hearts for giving. Whether we’re on the tennis court, trying something new, or serving our community, we’re always stronger together! 💜🎾

🎣💜💚 A DAY OF PURE JOY, LOVE & UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES! 🧜‍♀️🏴‍☠️

What an INCREDIBLE day several of us from Tennis Serves Others had joining Fish for Life on their final excursion of the season! We had the privilege of seeing off 30 amazing young people, giving them an adventure of a lifetime! ❤️

From fishing 🎣 to mermaids 🧜‍♀️, pirates 🏴‍☠️, Fish & Game officers, and Harbor Patrol 🚤, every detail was thoughtfully planned to give these kids a day filled with excitement, laughter, and pure JOY!

To our incredible TSO Board, members, donors, and volunteers — you should be SO PROUD! Through your generosity, dedication, and hard work, we’ve helped make several of these extraordinary adventures possible.

THIS is the true impact of what we do! 💜💚

Alissa Ahlman, VP of Fundraising stated “the joy wasn’t just felt by the kids, it touched every one of us who had the privilege of being there. It’s a day I will never forget!” 🥹❤️

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Fish for Life and its amazing crew for the love, compassion, and magic you bring to these children’s lives. We are so honored to be part of your mission!

💜 Supporting Teens at Ronald McDonald House

At our September OC Membership Meeting, our incredible TSO members generously donated teen gifts and gift cards for families staying at Ronald McDonald House.

We were so happy to collect and deliver these items to help RMH replenish much-needed gifts specifically for teens — an age group that can sometimes be overlooked when donations are made for children.

Thank you to our members for once again showing what it means to Play Tennis – Serve Others – Love All. 🎾💚💜

💜💚 SERVING UP SOMETHING SPECIAL IN SAN DIEGO! 🎾☀️
Congratulations to Tennis Serves Others – San Diego North County on a phenomenal FIRST TSO tennis event! 🎉🎾
What an incredible afternoon of high-energy LiveBall, great vibes, beautiful décor, lots of laughter and, best of all, playing tennis with a purpose! 💜💚
Our San Diego North County ladies came together to Play Tennis ~ Serve Others ~ Love All while supporting an incredible local nonprofit, Women’s First Step House of North County.
TSO was proud to present a $1,500 grant to support their mission of helping women begin a new life in sobriety. Women’s First Step House provides women struggling with alcohol a free 10-day stay in a safe, caring and supportive home, giving them an opportunity to begin their recovery with dignity, support and HOPE. ❤️

A huge CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to our amazing TSO San Diego North County Board, members, volunteers and everyone who came out to play and support this special day! Your energy, enthusiasm and hearts for serving made this inaugural event one to remember.

This is just the beginning, San Diego! 🎾☀️💜💚

What an incredible evening at our Tennis Serves Others Membership Celebration!🎉
Last night, we had the tremendous honor of presenting TWO $50,000 CHECKS — $100,000 TOTAL — to our 2026 Wimbledon beneficiaries, Fish For Life and 911 At Ease International . 🎾❤️

This moment belongs to ALL of our TSO ladies.
EVERY membership. EVERY event attended. EVERY tennis match played. EVERY volunteer hour. EVERY auction item donated or purchased. EVERY sponsorship. EVERY helping hand!!! It ALL adds up—and last night we saw just how powerful that collective impact can be. 👏💪

To our members, THANK YOU. Your membership is vital to the success of Tennis Serves Others and allows us to continue bringing women together through tennis, friendship and service while supporting so many deserving beneficiaries throughout our communities.
And the giving didn’t stop with our check presentations! ❤️

Our ladies arrived carrying wonderful gifts for the Ronald McDonald House teen program. Teenagers can sometimes be overlooked during donation drives, and these gifts will give them the opportunity to choose something special just for them. Thank you to everyone who so generously contributed! 💜

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate, serve and remind us WHY we do what we do.
So many ladies. So many hands. One shared heart for helping others. 🥰

🎾☀️ TSO at LAGUNA NIGUEL RACQUET CLUB 💜💚
What a special afternoon at Laguna Niguel Racquet Club as Tennis Serves Others joined LNRC’s Endless Summer Social to share our mission—bringing tennis ladies together for fun, friendship and, most importantly, giving back.

During the event, we were honored to recognize Mark Spearman, owner and director of the Spearman Clubs | Tennis & Fitness Clubs , with the Tennis Serves Others Award for Outstanding Dedication, Support & Contribution to our mission.

Ten + years ago, Tennis Serves Others began right here at LNRC with Mark’s support. From the very beginning, he believed in our mission and generously opened his clubs and courts to TSO, allowing us to host multiple charity tennis events each year.

That continued support has helped TSO grow from a small group of tennis friends wanting to serve into an organization that has supported more than 100 local beneficiaries and provided nearly $1 MILLION in grants, gifts and assistance to those in need. ❤️

Thank you, Mark, for believing in TSO from the beginning and helping us use the game we love to make a difference in the lives of others. 🎾💜💚
If you’re a tennis lady who loves friendship, giving back and social philanthropy, we’d LOVE to have you join us! tennisservesothers.org
