Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program
This holiday season, TAT is happy to once again partner with the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program for our annual Charity Drive.
Help TAT raise $500 for HJTEP, a tennis and tutoring program for urban youth in New York City.
To launch our drive, TAT attended the annual winter fundraiser organized by HJTEP. This year, to cater to corporate donors, the event was a cocktail party held at New York restaurant Brasserie Les Halles in the Financial District. Please view the video below to see photos from the event and listen to TAT’s interviews and some of the speeches from the event.
The holiday party was attended by HJTEP donors, students, alumni, and staff, and several notable guests. The world of tennis was represented by HJTEP’s Executive Director Katrina Adams and United States Davis Cup Captain and United States Tennis Association’s Head of Player Development Patrick McEnroe.
