About Rally4Hope

Founded in Shrewsbury, MA, Rally4Hope is dedicated to making tennis accessible to all youth in our community through innovative fundraising and free programming.

Our Story

Rally4Hope was born from a simple belief: every child deserves the opportunity to play tennis, regardless of their family's financial situation. Founded by passionate tennis enthusiasts and community leaders in Shrewsbury, MA, our organization bridges the gap between competitive tournament play and community outreach.

What started as a small local tournament has grown into a movement that has served over 500 youth and raised more than $50,000 for free tennis programming. Our unique model ensures that every dollar raised through tournaments goes directly back into the community.

Based at Shrewsbury High School, we've built strong partnerships with local schools, community centers, and youth organizations to maximize our impact and reach the children who need our programs most.
