Our Impact

What We Do

Capture.PNG1-removebg-preview.png

We create opportunities for young people, in underserved communities preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of life. 

​

Just like Arthur Ashe, we believe that tennis is a really powerful way to do that. 

​

Research shows that young people who start sports earlier play sports longer, no matter the level, and have better life outcomes off the court. 

​

Tennis is our choice of sport as it prioritizes individual readiness, both physically and mentally. 

John J. Donovan Jr. Memorial Award For Character

Capture.PNG1-removebg-preview.png

John J. Donovan Jr. would say of himself that he was first a father. That’s loyalty. He embodied compassion in all his endeavors and, even after his passing, he continues to support those in need. We want to give this award to commemorate his memory by honoring the qualities he exemplified. John wrote a list of “Daddy-isms” for his young children Skylar & Jax before he passed on. Some are his own thoughts and others he borrowed from people throughout his life; in any event, they are important and shaped who he was. He hopes that you read them often and keep them in your mind.

Be Different

Never follow the crowd – be a leader and have the courage to think differently and act differently – always question things – never, ever be a follower or strive to be average, or common, or ordinary – nothing ordinary has ever been, or ever will be, extraordinary.

"Tennis is an outlet for me... It's my safe place where I can move my body, think critically, and have fun. I am so grateful that Advantage Kids offers free tennis, and mindful mentoring for everyone so they can experience the safe place that I have always felt when playing tennis.”
