The Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA), formerly USPTA, is committed to supporting our members through challenging times. Following the devastating Southern California Wildfires, we are launching this fundraiser to provide direct aid to members whose homes and/or businesses were impacted.

As per current RSPA bylaws, the association cannot host fundraisers. Instead, Ellen Weatherford, RSPA Director of Finance, runs this drive with the full support of RSPA CEO Brian Dillman, President Trish Faulkner, and the entire Board of Directors, including the RSPA Southern California BOD led by SoCal President Scott Burton.

RSPA is seeding this effort with a $5,000 donation, and we encourage you to contribute whatever you can to help our colleagues recover and return to inspiring players in every racquet sport on every court.

All donations, less minimal GoFundMe fees, will go directly to affected RSPA members. Members seeking assistance can apply here: https://www.cognitoforms.com/USPTA1/RSPASouthernCaliforniaWildfireReliefApplication

A confirmation of receipt will be provided, and all applications will be reviewed by a team of volunteers who will verify membership before distributing funds.

The fundraiser will run for 30 days, ending on February 15, 2025. Please show your love and support for your fellow RSPA members by helping them recover and rebuild during this difficult time.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support of the RSPA family during this critical time!

Please note that donations to this fundraiser are not tax-deductible.
