Where’s Your Racquet?

Where’s Your Racquet? is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to recovering new and used tennis racquets and donating them to groups and individuals who are in need of equipment. 

Paul Fontana, a tennis professional with over four decades as a coach and facility manager, is the Founder and Executive Director of WYR?

Paul began to form this organization in May of 2021.

On a trial basis, Paul has recovered and donated nearly 100 racquets to organizations in the tristate area in the past 4 years.

WYR? works to get tennis racquets into communities that do not have access.

As of March 2025, the United States Tennis Association estimates there are 25.7 million tennis players in the USA. The USTA’s goal is to have 35 million tennis players in the USA by 2035. 

WYR? is passionate about ensuring equality and access within tennis and aims to pave the way for future players.

WYR? Is dedicated to assisting the USTA in achieving their goal of having 35 million tennis players in the USA by 2035.

Through donation drives, drop off stations and social media campaigns, WYR? Is positioned to collect thousands of racquets a year which are then immediately donated to communities that are in need.

All donated racquets are immediately given to communities in need, enabling future tennis players to thrive.

The more racquets that are in the hands of more players will allow the USTA to realize their goal of 35 million players!
