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.
Boathouse Bash
The NYJTL Boathouse Bash (formerly known as the Summer Gala) was held on Wednesday evening, August 1, 2018 at the iconic Loeb Boathouse in Central Park. The annual event is a fun and festive evening complete with music, dancing, gondola rides, magicians, and a silent auction. This event typically attracts upwards of 500 attendees from the New York City community, raising funds to support NYJTL programs that make a difference in the lives of children across all five boroughs.
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 The Pierre on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Katrina M. Adams, Chairman and President of the Board of the United States Tennis Association (USTA), and Michael Cayre, President of Midtown Equities, served as honorees.
