NYJTL is committed to providing donors and volunteers unique participation opportunities through a variety of events throughout the year. Attend an event, contribute to a fund and make a difference in the life of a child.
Leadership Luncheon
For over 30 years, 100% of the proceeds from NYJTL’s Leadership Luncheon have directly supported our free tennis and education programs thanks to the Benenson family, who generously underwrites all expenses for this major annual fundraiser. This year’s Leadership Luncheon was held at Metropolitan Club on Wednesday, November 6, 2019. Tommy Hilfiger, Andrea Jaeger, and Bethanie Mattek-Sands served as honorees and Christopher Perez and Isis Rodriguez won the student awards.
