"Earn" a New Tennis Racquet!
Collins Arts & Sport Foundation, in association with USTA Jr. Team Tennis, is offering your child an opportunity to "earn" a new tennis racquet.

Step #1 -- Apply by emailing me (Conan Lorenzo) and include your team tennis coaches' name, describing your child's proposed community service project.
Step #2 -- Participants will be selected and notified by CASF.
Step #3 -- Complete community service (of your choice) and write an essay.
