Hello! My name is Tejas Kumar, a 10th grader, passionate tennis player, and an environment lover. I have started this fundraiser to achieve one goal: recycle old tennis balls. Every day when people play tennis, many dead or unused balls are thrown out and eventually add more to our landfills. I have started a community service project called "Rally For Green", that would send bad balls to approved recycling programs, or reuse them as animal toys. The problem is: It costs a lot of money to ship these balls, buy recycling bins, and cover other recycling program fees. That's why I need your help. Any donation value is accepted and much appreciated (for example, $30 covers over 300 tennis balls).

This project brings two things together: playing the sport I love and protecting Mother Nature. If you can donate, you’ll be helping me make a real impact — one tennis ball at a time. Currently, the program has spread to six facilities, and with your help, I'll be able to spread to and recycle even more.

Also, if you are a high school or country club that wants a bin, or just a person wanting to donate tennis balls, check out my website: Rally For Green !

Thank you for supporting my project and helping keep our courts green.
