Charity Classic

The annual WWTA Charity Tennis Classic is held in conjunction with the Cary Tennis Classic, an ATP  & WTA Pro Challenger 100 Circuit event. Funds from the event are donated to Transitions LifeCare (formerly Hospice of Wake County) and used for WWTA scholarships. WWTA has raised over $335,000 for Transitions LifeCare and over $75,000 WWTA scholarships for area youth through this annual fundraiser.

The Charity Classic Tournament is normally an annual ladies doubles event but this year, a bridge year, this is a not just for ladies morning doubles event to be held on July 3rd. Since this event is held in conjunction with the Cary Tennis Classic, this means you may be playing on some of the same courts that professional players have been on. Join us for a morning of fun tennis, all while raising money for Transitions LifeCare.

In 2024, we held our morning event with 110 participants and volunteers and raised $11,000 for Transitions LifeCare and $3,000 for our WWTA Youth Scholarships. We were able do to this with limited sponsor cash donations, many raffle/auction item donations, participants and volunteers, and tennis courts donated by Cary Tennis Park. What a great tennis community we have. If you are interested in donating baskets for the raffle, silent auction items, becoming a cash sponsor or serving on our committee helping to get sponsors in 2025, please contact Laura. We look forward to this community each year because we so have the best community!
