What is the Serve Challenge?
A charitable tennis challenge. Supporters get the official shirt, film a serve, post it in the private Facebook Group and rally friends to give, all for the benefit of Watering Seeds.
Is the shirt a donation?
Partly. The shirt is your official entry item, and each purchase includes a donation to Watering Seeds at no extra charge (the amount is shown at checkout). Extra gifts, like the $10 for three more serves, are separate.
Can I submit more than one video?
Each entrant submits one video. If you want to submit another, donate $10 at WateringSeeds.org for three additional serves, then post a second video.
How is my shirt purchase matched to my entry?
After you buy your shirt you get an order ID on your receipt. Put it on your registration and in your entry caption next to your Serve ID so we can confirm your purchase.
