Serve the Future uses tennis as a platform for something bigger than sport.
Our mission is bring together students, families, educators, and community leaders to develop the confidence, leadership, resilience, and future-ready skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world and lead what comes next.
“When I created Serve the Future, I had no idea the profound impact it would have on our community, particularly the most vulnerable and underserved youth. Your generosity to our foundation has empowered these children to break free from the shackles of negativity, hopelessness, and doubt.”
- Leslie Banks, Founder & Executive Director, Serve the Future
