R&R Tennis
Media Group has launched a tennis ball recycling campaign
for our client California
Social Tennis Network (CSTN). The campaign lets
CSTN compete in the "Rally Round Up & Recycle"
competition organized by REBOUNCES, LLC in conjunction with
the BNP
Paribas Open
tennis
tournament next March in Indian Wells, CA.
Between December 1, 2010 and February 29, 2011, CSTN is involved
in a unprecedented collection effort for used tennis balls, with
a goal of submitting 10,000 balls for the competition. The balls
are being recycled and renewed, ready to be re-introduced to
the tennis world, instead of ending up on a landfill. There are
hundreds of millions of tennis balls manufactured world wide
every year - approximately 20,000 tons of landfill waste. REBOUNCES,
LLC has invented the "Green Machine", a tennis ball
re-pressurizing system that restores pressure in used tennis
balls. The method cann be applied to the same balls multiple
times.
The winners
of this competition will be eligible for deluxe suite tickets
to the 2011 BNP Paribas Open, the premier tennis event in Southern
California, and CSTN has decided to share those tickets via raffle
with those donating at least 50 balls to the campaign. For more

R&R Tennis
Media Group and the California Social Tennis Network are
teaming up and participating in a competition for USTA member
organizations for collecting used tennis balls for recycling
between
December 1, 2010 and February 28, 2011. We'll collect your used
balls
and ship them via Fedex to REBOUNCES.
Our goal until
Feb 28, 2011: Collecting 10,000 tennis balls.
The collection
schedule will be posted as we go. We'll post and email and tweet
it out, so you can have the balls ready when we hit your town.
The collection area goes from San Ysidro south of San Diego to
Bakersfield, and from the beaches in the west to the California
deserts.
Every person
donating at least 50 used tennis balls will be put on the pick-up
schedule. If you donate below 50 tennis balls you need to meet
us at pre-determined pick-up points in your area.
Every person
donating at least 50 tennis balls will be entered into a drawing
for a pair of tickets to the 2011 BNP Paribas Open in Indian
Wells. So, contact your team mates, ask your club, talk to your
neighbors, and clean out that garage, to collect at least 50
tennis balls. (Not the plastic cans, just the balls)
The tickets
include
- Day and evening
matches for a certain day of the tournament
- location: Luxury Suite at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden
- Food and beverages
- VIP Parking
