On August 13, 2022, Youth Tennis San Diego (YTSD) proudly welcomed over 100 guests to the Barnes Tennis Center for Win The Match For The Kids Gala 2022. This extraordinary evening marked the flagship event of YTSD and aimed to raise funds for our J.U.M.P. (Junior Tennis Underwriting Master Plan) initiative. Our mission is to provide a clear pathway for young tennis enthusiasts by offering free tennis and educational programs to schools, parks, and recreation centers across San Diego, including the Kathy Chabot Willette After School Tennis program.

 

We were honored to have Billie Jean King, a renowned guest speaker, and tennis legend, grace the event. Win The Match for the Kids 2022 commenced with a delightful cocktail reception, followed by captivating performances from the award-winning Mission Bay High School Jazz Ensemble. Guests were treated to a delectable dining experience provided by Behind The Scenes. The night's culmination was a tremendous success, as we raised over $172,000 to empower children in San Diego County through our tennis and educational initiatives in underserved communities.

 

At Youth Tennis San Diego, we remain committed to creating opportunities for young athletes, fostering their growth, and providing them with the tools they need to succeed both on and off the court. With the support of our dedicated community, we will continue to make a positive impact in the lives of San Diego's youth through the transformative power of tennis.
