On Saturday, September 19, ATC will host its annual fundraiser for 15-Love, a not-for-profit that uses tennis as a medium to provide programming on literacy, healthy living, college prep, and STEM education to inner-city youth.

We have partnered with 15-Love for several years now and hope to make this year’s event even more successful.

This year will be extra special as we will also celebrate Larry Yakubowski’s 20 years of service to ATC. Larry recently stepped down as manager of the club and will soon be moving to Rhinebeck to be closer to family. Combining the 15-Love fundraiser with a celebration of Larry’s service is a natural fit. Using tennis to build a happier, healthier, and stronger community is what Larry is all about.

Please join us on September 19 (rain date: Sunday, September 20) beginning at 12:30 pm at the ATC courts to help raise funds for 15-Love and to wish Larry well moving forward. We are asking for donations of $25 or more for 15-Love (we will gladly accept donations greater than $25!). We will provide food and drink at the party. And it wouldn’t be a proper send-off for Larry without a community doubles event.

If you plan on attending, RSVP to Chris Bradt (albanytennischris@gmail.com) and tell him (1) that you will be attending and (2) whether you will be playing tennis (the tennis will likely go from 2 to 4 pm, but if you can’t stay the whole time, that is ok as well).

Hope to see you there!
