Unleash the Power of Partnership: Labor Day Doubles Tournament Promising Rewarding Tennis Action

WAUWATOSA, WISCONSIN - As Labor Day approaches, the Kelly Johnson Foundation is enthusiastic in hosting the Labor Day Doubles tournament on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm CST.

The Kelly Johnson Foundation is thrilled to be co-hosting the event alongside Greater MKE Tennis League. This will be the fourth tournament of its kind, becoming more exhilarating each year. The tourney will be held at Hart Park in Wauwatosa, 7300 W. Chestnut St., Wauwatosa, WI 53213.

The one-day event includes 9 divisions: Men's Doubles (Combo NTRP 7.0, 8.0, 9.0), Women's Doubles (Combo NTRP 7.0, 8.0, 9.0), and Mixed Doubles (Combo NTRP 8.0, 9.0, 10.0). Trophies will be presented to the winning teams in each division, making the event a friendly, yet competitive arena.

Those who are interested in this event may enter as a player, or a volunteer or sponsor. The organization always welcomes those who do not choose to play to come as a spectator or volunteer, which we find is just as fun! KJF is proud to announce this year’s ball sponsor is Head/Penn.

Kelly Johnson, the founder of the Kelly Johnson Foundation, expresses her continued vigor for this event when she says, “We’re looking forward to partnering with GMKETL. This is our second Labor Day event partnering with them, the first being 2021. We are excited to bring that back and support the surrounding community!”

The organization has been hosting various tennis and pickleball events for 10 years now, and continues to expand its reach to other sports and geographical locations as it broadens its horizons in pursuit of its mission. The Kelly Johnson Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to give back to schools and communities while encouraging individual’s goals and passions. The organization was born after Kelly discovered an opportunity to create a space for people to embrace their talents and passions and feel motivated to do so through building a sense of community and support.

The player entry fee is $30 per player, with a maximum of two divisions per player. All proceeds go towards our Johnson Family Scholarship program. This May, KJF awarded two high school scholarships for the Class of 2023. The foundation truly appreciates the support as it continues to chase this endeavor.

The Kelly Johnson Foundation is also delighted to be participating in the Recycleballs program, where we will be recycling all tennis balls after the tournament. KJF is also partnering with Second Serve, another nonprofit that donates gently used tennis gear to youth tennis players in need. There will be a box on-site to collect donations, so feel free to bring some old gear with you.
