summer 2026 T‑Shirt Sponsorships
For Summer 2026, we are excited to offer local businesses the opportunity to advertise on the back of our staff and participant t‑shirts. Every youth participant receives a t-shirt as part of their registration, and all staff members wear these shirts as their official uniform. These shirts continue to be worn year-round during our after‑school programs, lunchtime tennis sessions, Friday Night Tennis, and other TMYL events, maximizing visibility for your business across the Lansing community.
How Your Support Benefits Your Business
By purchasing advertising space, your business will receive:
High-frequency local exposure: Your message will be seen six days a week at sites throughout the Lansing area.
Visibility with families and community members: Parents, school partners, volunteers, and spectators will see your brand consistently.
Association with a respected, youth-focused nonprofit: Aligning with TMYL reinforces your commitment to education, leadership, and community health.
A full year of marketing value: Your advertisement remains on our shirts for one calendar year—far longer than typical one-time sponsorships.

Provide safe, structured summer programming for hundreds of kids.
Teach life skills and leadership principles that build confidence and character.
