Price range: $

Join us for a premier black-tie fundraising gala in New York City benefiting the Harlem Junior Tennis & Education Program. This unforgettable evening brings together celebrities, community leaders, donors, alumni, partners, and advocates to celebrate impact and support equitable access to tennis, education, and wellness for under-resourced youth in Harlem and beyond.

The Gala is HJTEP’s most important fundraising event of the year, raising essential funds to sustain and expand our after-school programs, summer camps, and community services that use tennis as a powerful tool to develop life skills, academic success, personal well-being, and positive behavior. Through our holistic programming, HJTEP is committed to fostering champions in tennis, education, and wellness.

Past Galas have honored legends such as Chris Evert, Billie Jean King, and Stan Smith, alongside philanthropic and business leaders including BET, Johnson & Johnson, and Morgan Stanley, all of whom share a commitment to empowering the next generation. This year, we are proud to honor:

Joakim Noah, former NBA All-Star and philanthropist, will be presented with the Shining Star Award for his leadership and commitment to empowering youth and communities.
Parkway Venture Capital: Jesse Coors-Blankenship and Gregg Hill, Co-Founders and General Partners, will be presented with the Corporate Award for their continued support of HJTEP’s mission.
