Activity Descriptions

  • Swing into Action for a Great Cause!
    Join us for an afternoon of tennis fun from 1:00-3:30pm! This family-friendly event welcomes all ages and skill levels across 7 tennis courts and 2 pickleball courts.

    Activities Include:

    • Fast Serve Challenge - Test your speed against the pros (average pro serves: women 110 mph, men 120 mph)

    • Target Practice - Knock over cones and win prizes

    • Beat the Pro - Team up and challenge our tennis professionals

    • Live Ball Games - Jump into fast-paced court action

    • Pickleball - Try this exciting sport on dedicated courts

    All ages welcome! Leave your tennis whites at home - come as you are.


  • The Foundation’s Paint and Pass Party is a family-friendly collaborative art activity where participants paint “relay-style,” passing their canvases to the next person after each step. At the end of the party, each person will walk away with a masterpiece that is the product of every attendee’s contributions. Join the fun from 1:00 – 3:00.

  • On August 26 and 27, get a head start on your fall style at the Foundation’s pop-up boutique featuring fashions from Showroom, a women’s retailer owned by celebrity stylist Erica Hanks. Stop by to shop for some new closet-finds at a variety of price points, and enter to win a handbag giveaway. 10% of all sales will go directly to the Foundation.

  • For the second year in a row, the Foundation’s Dunk Tank Challenge will take place at the Club’s Labor Day FunFest on Monday, September 1. Who would you most like to see get soaked? One vote for $20 and three votes for $50. Vote early and often!
