Brighter Days

The Brighter Days initiative aims to provide relief from challenging life circumstances for young people and their families through fun, engaging tennis and social activities at flagship tennis facilities across the country. 

Launched in September 2022, Brighter Days provides relief from challenging life circumstances for young people and their families through fun, engaging tennis and social activities at flagship tennis facilities across Australia.

Over the last two years we have partnered with Children’s Cancer Foundation, Little Dreamers, the Sony Foundation and My Room nationwide to offer more than 280 children and families the opportunity to play and connect.

During AO 2023 Little Dreamers, the Sony Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and My Room families took the opportunity to step away from their daily challenges and enjoy the AO festival atmosphere and for a day. 

At the heart of Brighter Days is the intent to use tennis as a vehicle to create fun and meaningful memories for kids and families as they navigate extraordinary life challenges.
