The fundraising is active  through the Web all the year with the promotion of charity auctions selling sport memorabilia supported by  eBay.it. Charity raffles, dinners, concerts, brunches are tools promoted by Tennis for Africa  for reinforcing the fundraising.

Famous international former players are Tennis for Africa board members and are available to share news and ideas inside Tennis for Africa Club, like Gianluca Pozzi (ITA), Jonas Svensson (SWE), Claudio Mezzadri (ITA), Nduka Odizor (NIG) and Laura Golarsa (ITA).
