The Bryan Brothers Shootout will benefit two noteworthy children’s charities, the National Tennis Foundation and local organization, Norwalk Grassroots Tennis, where a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to each charity. Both non-profit groups offer after-school tennis programs to under privileged and inner city youth, and make the game of tennis more accessible to many children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to play. For more information on these charities, refer to http://www.nationaltennisfoundation.org and http://www.norwalkgrassrootstennis.com/.
In conjunction with The Lake Club, the Bryan Brothers Shootout is being sponsored by American Business, Morgan Stanley, Rangeley Capital, Moet-Hennessey, Franco’s Liquor Store and anonymous Lake Club member donors. Sponsorship opportunities are still being accepted on several levels. If you would like to be part of this world class event, please contact Berend van Toor, Lake Club Director of Tennis at (203) 762-1663.
