What We Do

TSO GiveBack

In 2018, Tennis Serves Others launched TSO GiveBack. TSO GiveBack encompasses three aspects of our ongoing service commitments:

Supporting youth tennis in Southern California
Providing basic needs to orphans
Tennis Scholastic Scholarship

TSO GiveBack Programs

“Our members love tennis and we want to give kids the opportunity to fall in love with the game like we did. Supporting youth tennis, and helping kids who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to play, aligns with our passion and our mission to serve others.”
– Carol Walsh, Founder & Chairperson

TSO Giveback Program – Youth Tennis

In cooperation with the Southern California Tennis Association (SCTA), TSO GiveBack supports youth tennis at local parks and schools by providing equipment and supplies to those that have a financial need. If you know of a park or school that has a financial need for tennis equipment and supplies, the TSO GiveBack program may be able to assist.

TSO Giveback Program – Assisting Orphans

TSO Giveback also supports our efforts to help orphans around the world. Over the last several years, we have received numerous requests to provide the basic necessities for food, clothing and shelter. Our primary mission is to serve our local communities, but we also help others throughout the world. TSO Giveback allows us to use our passion for tennis to help those most vulnerable.
