The Waccamaw Regional Tennis Center at Stables Park is making a powerful impact on our community, and the environment, by recycling nearly 15,000 used tennis balls through its partnership with RecycleBalls.

What started as a student-led initiative has blossomed into a sustainable program, thanks to the ongoing support of Mark Hawn, a dedicated player who sponsors the effort with an annual contribution of $600.

This collaboration not only helps keep tennis balls out of local landfills and waterways but also demonstrates how local businesses and community members can lead environmental change.

For business leaders and entrepreneurs in the Myrtle Beach region, the center's commitment is a reminder that sustainability and community engagement go hand in hand.

Let's celebrate and support initiatives like this that drive local growth and environmental responsibility together.

The Waccamaw Regional Tennis Center at Stables Park is serving up more than just great tennis — it's championing environmental stewardship.

Through a partnership with RecycleBalls, a national nonprofit dedicated to repurposing used tennis balls, the center has recycled nearly 15,000 balls over the past three years. What started as a student-led initiative has flourished, thanks in part to Mark Hawn, a frequent player who now sponsors the program with an annual $600 commitment.

This initiative keeps thousands of tennis balls out of local landfills and waterways, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability within our community.

For local business leaders and organizations, this is a prime example of how sports facilities and nonprofits can collaborate to drive impactful environmental change. It reminds us that community-focused partnerships not only improve our quality of life but also create opportunities for businesses to engage meaningfully with sustainability efforts.

How is your organization contributing to environmental responsibility in the Grand Strand? Let's share ideas and amplify our collective impact.
