Are You Ready To Pine Tree ‘26!
The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic returns August 6–9, 2026, for its 41st year — a four‑day celebration of elite tennis, great food, and a community united for a powerful cause. The tournament will once again take place at Life Time White Bear Lake in White Bear Lake, Minn., with the junior tournament held August 7–8 at Life Time Bloomington South. Hosted by the Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund, a Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the event continues its longstanding mission of supporting targeted pediatric oncology research and rehabilitation efforts at Children’s Minnesota and more than 600 hospitals across 66 countries.&nbsp;
A Legacy of Impact Founded in 1986 by Ron and Mary Ann Peterson in honor of their daughter Julieann, the Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic began as a grassroots effort to help medical professionals at Children’s Minnesota advance critical cancer research while caring for young patients and now has raised over $8.6 million for the cause.
Tournament Highlights The 2026 Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic has its largest field in history and will showcase 200 top mixed‑doubles players from Minnesota, the Upper Midwest, and across the country. Competition spans four adult divisions — Open, Masters (35+), Grand Masters (50+) — and six junior divisions ranging from Green Ball to young adult. Many adult competitors are current or former collegiate athletes, while junior players represent the next generation of tennis talent. All players are encouraged to fundraise, with many raising thousands of dollars individually.
Additional highlights include:
