WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., September 11, 2020 – As a part of the ongoing Rally to Rebuild campaign, the USTA Foundation, the national charitable arm of the USTA, thanks Jersey Mike’s Subs for celebrating the USTA Foundation’s efforts. On Saturday, September 12, Jersey Mike’s celebrated the USTA Foundation’s mission to bring tennis and education together to change lives by donating $1 million to the organization.
