NYJTL Hosts Annual Summer Gala at Central Park Boathouse

New York Junior Tennis and Learning (NYJTL) hosted its Annual Summer Gala at The Central Park Boathouse, as more than 550 people attended, the most in the event’s history.

The fundraising efforts grew more than 20 percent from a year ago, as NYJTL raised more than $215,000, with that number still climbing. The event featured music, dancing, dining, gondola rides and magicians, and raises funds to support NYJTL’s programs to make a difference in the lives of children across New York City.

“It is overwhelming to see the incredible support for NYJTL,” said NYJTL President and CEO Deborah Antoine. “Our Summer Gala has grown every year, and is a complete celebration of our scholar athletes, and the many thousands of children we serve through tennis and education. With everyone’s support, we are making a real difference in so many young lives today and our Gala is a wonderful time of celebration, fun and festivity.”
