Through the Rally as One program, we support communities devastated by natural disasters with free community events, infrastructure projects and tennis programs.
Bushfire Community Events
We fund clubs, TA Member Associations and Local Governments to deliver community events in bushfire-affected communities with the aim of promoting community connection and inspiring hope for the future.
Almost 4000 people have connected through 18 community events held in New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria.
As a part of these programs, 19 local community members have been trained to deliver ongoing tennis programs to children, encouraging ongoing participation and social cohesion.
