Serving Up Hope

End of school holiday program = competitive juices through the roof 🔥

Players brought their fight to every point, coaches worked tirelessly to make it all possible.

What a great way to spend the school break! Well done to everyone involved 👏

In Uganda, Serving Up Hope is helping children build a foundation for a brighter future. Our program supports dozens of children with full-time school tuition while also providing opportunities to develop computer literacy, foundational coding skills, psychosocial skills and more.

Because education isn’t just about what happens in a classroom, and tennis isn’t just about what happens on a court.

Together, they can help young people build confidence, resilience, connection and the skills they need to shape their futures.

Big congrats to Maria and Nate! They won tickets to watch the semifinals at the US Open Tennis Championships last week through the Maplewood Club fundraiser, benefiting Serving Up Hope! The fundraiser raised more than $2000 for tennis programs in Uganda and the U.S.

We are so grateful to all of our tennis club supporters and partners! Thank you for believing in our work and in our kids!

The generosity of US Open Tennis Championships players is making a meaningful impact on the athletes of Serving Up Hope! Our players in Uganda are set to receive:

👟 48 pairs of shoes
👕 More than 200 articles of clothing
🎒 Four tennis bags
🎾 Sports bras, visors, hats, grips and string

And some truly special contributions:

✨ 50 items from Linda Noskova
✨ Naomi Osaka’s special edition Nike kit

These donations are more than gear; they’re opportunities, confidence and encouragement for the people we serve. We’re so grateful to the players who are helping us share the love of the game! Thank you for helping us serve up hope!

This weekend, the best in the world are competing for a US Open Tennis Championships title, and while we celebrate the incredible athletes on the court, we’re thinking about the next generation of players who are just getting started.

Your support helps make it possible for children in underserved communities to access tennis, education and opportunities they might not otherwise have.

This week, let the inspiration of the U.S. Open turn into action.

A donation to Serving Up Hope helps us put racquets in hands, open doors and create possibilities—on and off the court in Uganda and the U.S.

As we've watched the world’s best compete at the US Open Tennis Championships, we’re reminded that tennis can be so much more than a game. For the children we serve, a tennis racquet can be a doorway to confidence, connection, education and opportunity.

At Serving Up Hope, we use tennis as a tool to help underserved children develop skills that last far beyond the court. Because the goal isn’t just to teach kids how to play. It’s to help them discover what they’re capable of.

Game. Set. Life.

We love seeing Serving Up Hope at the US Open Tennis Championships! Big thanks to Vania King, founder and president, and Katrina Campbell, board member, for representing our organization at the biggest tennis event in the country!

We are bursting with pride for Serving Up Hope player Lillian Ayee, who brought home a BRONZE MEDAL at the ANOCA Zone V Youth Games while representing Uganda and the Uganda Tennis Association! 🥉🎾🇺🇬

Lillian’s achievement is about so much more than a medal.

At Serving Up Hope, we believe that tennis can be a pathway to opportunity. Through tennis and education, we work to help underserved young people build confidence, develop life skills, pursue their dreams, and discover what is possible—both on and off the court.

Lillian is a beautiful example of that possibility. 💙

🎾🌟 Game. Set. SO proud!🌟🎾

We’re thrilled to cheer on our very own Serving Up Hope board member, Christina McHale, as she brings her incredible tennis knowledge and experience to the broadcast booth at the US Open on ESPN+!

From competing on the sport’s biggest stages to sharing her insight from the broadcast side, Christina continues to inspire us both on and off the court. We couldn’t be more excited to see her back at the US Open—this time helping fans experience all the action in a whole new way! 🎾🗽📺
