"Rally, Round-Up & Recycle" - BNP Paribas Indian Wells |

Calling All Tennis Players – Start Saving Used Racquets and Tennis

Balls To Donate and Receive New Balls and Be Entered to Win!

Title sponsor, BNP Paribas and reBounces will once again partner to collect used tennis balls on-site during the two weekends of the tournament (March 10-11 and March 17-18). Patrons who bring at least six used tennis balls will be offered a free can of tennis balls. Since its initial inception at the tournament, more than 40,000 tennis balls have been collected on-site and recycled.

In addition, BNP Paribas and reBounces launched its successful “Rally, Round-Up and Recycle” competition amongst Southern California tennis clubs and facilities, which ends February 14, 2012 with a goal of rounding up over 125,000 tennis balls. For more information click here.

Emirates, the Official Airline of the BNP Paribas Open, will again provide a recycling box for used tennis racquets between Thursday, March 8 – Sunday, March 18. With each donation you are entered to win two roundtrip Business Class tickets from Los Angeles to Dubai. Collection bins will be located next to the Emirates Fastest Serve Cage for the duration of the tournament. All racquets will be donated to the National Junior Tennis and Learning Network.

Start saving today and bring your used tennis balls and racquets to the 2012 BNP Paribas Open.
