Haas and the Bryan Brothers joined executives from the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF) and Continuum residents for a morning of practice sessions and on-court entertainment to benefit the ITHF’s Be Legendary global youth initiative. The event was conducted on the pristine clay courts of the Continuum Tennis Center.

Here’s the ITHF news release report on the event:

Ticket holders were invited to a pre-game breakfast on The Patio lawn, featuring a silent auction and meet-and-greet with the tennis icons, together with International Tennis Hall of Fame CEO, Dan Faber, and Executive Vice President of Revenue, Jeff Harrison.

A light-hearted morning of on-court conditioning and competitive gameplay allowed participants to rotate and play with Tommy Haas and the Bryan Brothers, who each hosted a court of fun drills and games for residents to enjoy. The on-court activity was followed by a postgame lunch party and trophy presentation to winners Shelly Bressler (Most Improved Player), Lu Goldman (Best Team Player), and Isabelle Rovner (Best Put Away Shot). All participants received a gift bag of products from event sponsor, Augustinus Bader skincare.

“Raising funds for the ITHF initiative ‘Be Legendary’ turned-out to be a great time for an even better cause,” said event organizer Steven Michaelson. “My co-organizer, Stacey Cooper, and I couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done and look forward to doing it again next year.” 

“The International Tennis Hall of Fame is incredibly grateful to Continuum and Steve Michaelson for their commitment to our Be Legendary program,” said Dan Faber, CEO at International Tennis Hall of Fame. “The support from the South Florida community is essential in helping us inspire and provide opportunities for the next generation of talent, both locally and globally.”
