Tennis Opportunity Program Annual Fundraiser and TeamTennis Tournament

Michelle Durpetti Events, under the direction of River Forest native Michelle Durpetti, is set to produce the 14th Annual Tennis Opportunity Program (TOP) Fundraiser and TeamTennis Tournament.

On Saturday, October 13, from 4 -10 p.m. at the Midtown Athletic Club (2020 W. Fullerton Ave) guests will be joined by celebrity host and professional tennis player Tracy Austin and the master of ceremonies Kathy Hart, Co-Host of the Eric & Kathy Morning Show on 101.9fm THE MIX.

Guests of the fundraiser will have the opportunity to play in an exciting World TeamTennis Tournament, participate in live and silent auctions, as well as dine on a delicious meal catered by Phil Stefani Signature Events.  All of the proceeds go towards the TOP Scholarship Program which works to provide economically disadvantaged children with the chance to achieve excellence as tennis players, students, and citizens.

The cost to play in the tournament is $300 per person, or $1200 for a team of 4-6 players. There will also be an opportunity for teams to bid on the chance to have Tracy Austin as their coach for this event.  Admission for guests to attend the event without participating in the World TeamTennis is $100 per person and includes dinner, cocktails, live and silent auctions plus great entertainment throughout the night.

For more information on entering the tournament, attending the event, or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Michelle Durpetti Events at 312-988-9900 or by e-mail at TOPevent@durpettievents.com.
