Ninth Annual Johnny Mac Tennis Project Pro Am Event Raises a Record-Breaking $625,000


The John McEnroe Foundation’s Johnny Mac Tennis Project (JMTP) today announced that Saturday’s PRO AM event at SPORTIME Amagansett raised a record $650,000 in one day, shattering the previous record of $600,000.  

It is JMTP’s largest fundraiser of the year, with all proceeds going towards the foundation’s mission of transforming young lives by removing the economic, racial and social barriers to success through tennis.

Founded by Tennis Hall of Famer John McEnroe, JMTP introduces tennis to thousands of under-resourced New York City area children, particularly those living in East Harlem and the South Bronx.

There were 75 teams competing in the event alongside tennis legends:  John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, James Blake, Reilly Opelka, Jim Courier, Rennae Stubbs, Andrea Petkovic, Luke Jensen and Richey Renenberg.

Pro Am Winners: Adam Sklar and Gui Medeiros.

Pro Am Runners up: Dave Eisenberg and Dylan Breen.

Pro Am Rose Flight Winners (Rose Flight is the non-advancing flight): Amy Kline and Josep Baro.

In September 2010, tennis legend John McEnroe and SPORTIME partnered to launch the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, in John’s hometown of New York City, at the SPORTIME Randall’s Island Tennis Center in Manhattan.
