Advantage Canada – A message from Michael Downey

With three days left in 2023, let’s keep the advantage in Canada

Maintaining our status as a global tennis leader requires investment in determined young players to develop their game and be able to compete at the highest level.

With your ongoing support, Tennis Canada can continue to compete with the best tennis nations in the world by nurturing the stars of tomorrow

We must keep the advantage in Canada. And you can help.

There are only a few days remaining in 2023, so act fast – every dollar you donate:

1. Will be automatically doubled by a generous anonymous donor, so you can make 2X the impact
2. Comes with a tax-deductible receipt for you to claim on your upcoming tax return; but in order to qualify, you must donate before the midnight deadline on December 31, 2023 ⏰

The end of 2023 also marks the end of my tenure as Tennis Canada’s President and CEO. I’ve been with the organization for more than 15 years, and during this time we have witnessed Canada become a global tennis powerhouse. 

When I joined, Canada had gone seven years without a player ranked in the top 100. As an organization, our lofty goal was to get a player back into that elite group.

Fast-forward to today, and we have multiple internationally recognized players whose names are synonymous with the sport. And, the pipeline we’ve built helps ensure that young players who look up to them can develop their game and become the next generation to carry the torch for our country. We have come so far!

But we cannot stop now. You have the power to fund the next generation of tennis in Canada. Will you make a small online gift to help keep Canada on top of the global podium for years to come?

Please take advantage of this rare matching opportunity to have your gift doubled. You can help us keep the advantage where it belongs – in Canada.
