Philanthropy

Michael-Ray Pallares González founded One Love Tennis Inc. in 2011, which is a non-profit organization designed to reach underprivileged and low income youth through affordable tennis, education, and fitness.[16] He has travelled all over the world, organizing Play-Day events designed to introduce kids to tennis providing them with the opportunity to continue to develop and enhance their skills. Play-Days are a welcoming way for kids to experience the social and competitive aspects of tennis, promoting a sense of achievement through a fun and spirited atmosphere.

South America

In April 2014, Michael-Ray teamed-up with Tennis for Colombia to host his first Play-Day event for a group of 10 ball-boys in the rural neighborhood of Puerto Caldas, a municipality of Pereira, Colombia in the foothills of the Andes located in northwest South America.[17] In March 2017, his second event in Colombia took place in the town and municipality of Jamundí, (15 mi) south of Cali, the capital of the Valle del Cauca department, and the most populous city in southwest Colombia. The Play-Day event was held for a group of 8 ball-boys in collaboration with Las Mercedes Campestre Tennis Club.[18]

Children's Home in the municipal seat of Ímuris, located in the Imuris Municipality in the north of the Mexican state of Sonora.[31][32][33][34][35][36]

Central America & Caribbean

In September 2017, Michael-Ray teamed-up with Fundación Sigue mis Pasos to host the first Play-Day event in his home country. The event was held for a group of 15 children living at the Orfanato Casa Amor y Restauración Hermosa Children's Home in the Brisas del Este sector of Santo Domingo Este, a municipality and provincial capital of the Santo Domingo province in the Dominican Republic.[37][38][39] That same month, he collaborated with Grupo Puntacana to host his second event in the Dominican Republic, this time for a group of 30 ball-boys at the Oscar de la Renta Tennis Center located in the Puntacana Resort and Club community of Punta Cana, La Altagracia Province.[40][41][42]

The Play-Day event took place in the residential quarter of Moșilor located in Bucharest's Sector 2, Romania's capital and largest city. He partnered with the Saint Macrina Orphanage and the Romanian Churches Ecumenical Association to host the event for a group of 15 children living at the residential shelter.[45][46] In May 2018, Pallares González returned to Malta to host an exhibition and Play-Day event at the historic Marsa Sports Club for a group of 20 children from the St Patrick’s boys’ home in Sliema.[47]
