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, July 31, 2019 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. Attracting upwards of 500 attendees from the New York City community, the Boathouse Bash raises 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 will be held at Metropolitan Club on Wednesday, November 6, 2019. Tommy Hilfiger, Andrea Jaeger, and Bethanie Mattek-Sands will serve as honorees.
