Grassroots Tennis & Education Hosts Annual Grand Slam Gala at Chelsea Piers Connecticut

Grassroots will host a Gala with great company, delicious food and beverage, a live auction, and a special tribute to our late Founder, Art Goldblatt. The celebratory event will take place Saturday, April 2, 2022 from 6:00-10:00 p.m. at The Loft at Chelsea Piers Connecticut.

Tickets cost $250 and registration can be purchased here.

This year’s Gala is particularly special - because we can gather as a community in person after three years and because we will be taking the time to honor the memory of our incredible Founder Art Goldblatt. After his passing last fall, this will be the first time we can all come together and celebrate his life and legacy. We look forward to seeing you there. For those of you that cannot make it or do not feel comfortable, you can still support our Grassroots youth with a donation at: grassrootste.org/donate.

Grassroots is a youth development nonprofit organization that uses the sport of tennis to engage youth in holistic out-of-school time programming. This free, year-round program combines tennis instruction with leadership development, social-emotional and character development, and college and career readiness support. Grassroots creates an environment that encourages and empowers student-athletes to create their own pathways to achieve their goals.

​A chapter of the USTA National Junior Tennis and Learning Network, Grassroots serves more than 200 children each year, ages five to 18 with a relationship-first approach that brings children and their families together with dedicated volunteers and caring staff. Grassroots serves kids where they live – at Cummings Park in Stamford and at the Youth Center and the William Rippe Tennis Center in South Norwalk.
