The PTATC has raised more that $4.5 million for the cancer research program at the Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. Our goal this year is to raise $300,000 that will support the research to lessen the suffering caused by children's cancer. With a donation of any amount, you can be part of the team that moves these great programs forward.
Giving back through sport
The sport of tennis has offered incredible blessings in my life. Wonderful friendships, a healthy lifestyle and business opportunities to name a few. The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic offers tennis players the chance to give back through the sport that has been so good to them. Our fund raising efforts will offer resistance against Children's Cancer, the disease that continues to attempt to keep children off of the tennis court, the soccer field and even their own back yards. These children deserve a chance to play sports, sing, dance and learn just like everyone else. Please consider a tax deductible donation to the research team at the Children's Hospitals and Clinics to help get these children back into the game of life.
My wife Kristin and I would love to have you join us for dinner at the Dellwood Country Club on Friday, August 7th at 6:30 pm. A donation of $200 will get you two tickets to this event along with four tickets to the tournament and a $200 tax deduction.

Kelli and I have been playing doubles together for approximately 8 months. In that short time we have achieved a 10-0 record in USTA league play and are excited about our opportunity to post great results at this year's Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic!
