Kelly, the founder of The Kelly Johnson Foundation and host of the tournament, expresses her enthusiasm and gratitude for the event and its participants, stating, "We’re excited to bring the Rose City Classic back for its third year with a new location and a new summer date. Each year this tournament continues to grow, and we’re looking forward to welcoming players and spectators for a great weekend of tennis and hopefully some perfect Portland metro summer weather!"
The Kelly Johnson Foundation proudly drives positive change through its Pay It Forward Initiative, partnering with Starting Line Youth Alliance 501(c)3 to donate new and gently used tennis gear to children in need in the surrounding Portland metro area. Participants are encouraged to contribute items to the collection bin on-site, with a goal of gathering 30 items to kickstart its 3rd annual event.
