The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic (PTATC) is an exciting and important event that raises money for cancer research at Children's Hospitals and Clinics. Please click here to find out about the history of the PTATC and what the funds raised are used for.
Personally, the PTATC is a major highlight of my summer! It is a blast playing with my partner John Trondson, and I'm looking forward to the battle as we try to make our way through a tough draw! The tennis competition is amazing and the spirit of the tournament and surrounding events is really exhilarating and humbling to be a part of. So many passionate people organize and execute this event straight from their hearts. When I ask people to donate money for this cause, to aid in cancer research and improving the lives of children with cancer, I get excited to see what we can do together. Any and every amount is accepted and important. The PTATC has raised $5 million over the years! The money raised will do good things for many children suffering from a childhood cancer! Let's see what we can do this year, for the PTATC, for the children.
