JTCC was transformed for an unforgettable evening on April 10 to salute JTCC’s 25th Anniversary honoring alumnus Frances Tiafoe and University of Maryland President Darryll Pines at the GEICO Champions Celebration presented by Amazon and the Bisnow Family.
The honorees shared inspiring messages to an energetic crowd of more than 400 JTCC supporters, who raised an impressive $584,000 benefitting JTCC’s GEICO Game On! community programs.
Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during the pre-dinner reception while being entertained by impressive match play featuring JTCC Adaptive athletes, High Performance and Junior Champs players.
The dynamic dinner program was filled with impactful speeches, touching tributes, amusing anecdotes, distinguished awards, and captivating videos that paid homage to JTCC’s growth over the past 25 years and showcased what’s coming in the future.
GEICO Game On! provides a pathway for youth who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play tennis, starting as beginners and progressing to earning college scholarships. Since its inception in 2009, more than 8,000 youth have been introduced to tennis through GEICO Game On!
