51st Annual Gala Honors James R. Kelly III and Rennae Stubbs

More than 400 luminaries from the world of tennis and celebrity tennis fans celebrated the impactful work the Harlem Junior Tennis & Education Program (HJTEP) does helping and inspiring youngsters through tennis and education last night at the HJTEP Annual Gala at the Ziegfield Ballroom in New York City.
A highlight of the gala was once again the live auction which once again helped the event raise nearly $1 million. Some of the unique auction included: two US Open tickets with a behind the scenes ESPN tour with Rennae Stubbs; two French Open quarterfinals tickets with round-trip business class transportation; two box seats to the 2024 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, CA; a hit session with The Bryan Brothers. Additionally, all auction items winners received a pair of autographed Stan Smith Adidas tennis shoes – a must-have collectible for any tennis fan.
