With the US Open starting this week, thought it would be nice for some of my new readers to see this event. For a wonderful cause, and named after a very lovely man, Arthur Ashe. This event is the Saturday before the US Open begins and it is great for the kids and adults alike.
Here are the tennis players who participated in the event. It was a fun time for all the kids who attended and raised money for a great cause ..........the players seemed to enjoy themselves as well from all the smiles!!
