Welcome to Impactful Tennis!
Welcome to Impactful Tennis!
Impactful Tennis empowers high school tennis players to make a positive impact in the community by offering tennis lessons in exchange for a charitable donation.
Over the past four summers, the Impactful Tennis team of 30 instructors has given 937 lessons and raised $39,715 for Meals on Wheels Diablo Region to aid homebound and vulnerable seniors in Contra Costa county.
Meals on Wheels has been experiencing a 40% increase in requests since the pandemic began. The organization provides 7 nutritious meals/week, companionship, and services for seniors to address issues with housing, elder abuse, long-term care, and depression.
"Meals on Wheels Diablo Region is so grateful to the Impactful Tennis volunteer instructors, parents and students. Your donations help us to continue to deliver meals and services to vulnerable seniors, so they can remain safe and healthy in their homes with dignity. Without our meal deliveries, many seniors would go hungry. We are so honored to be chosen by Impactful Tennis as its charity of choice. It really means the world to us that the next generation of leaders is concerned about the challenges our elders face every day. Thank you!" - Caitlyn Sly, Executive Director, Meals on Wheels Diablo Region
