    Our Mission

    The warm, sunny days of summer are here, and many are planning to take their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to the playground or the park.

    The kids so enjoy swinging on the swings, going down the chutes or climbing all over the Jungle Jim! Watching them play and seeing their excitement and the smiles on their faces – helps us all to forget the troubles of the day and to just enjoy being with them in a happy and carefree environment!

    However, for those youngsters who are patients in the pediatrics unit of the Hospital for Special Care, this trip to the playground is only a dream. Their treatment and care must keep them inside, they can only hope for some fun time during their stay.

    We, the Children’s Charities Tennis Classic, now in our 47th year, plan to do something about this.

    This year, the hospital would like to purchase equipment to build a brand-new indoor play yard in their common space, and we would like to help raise funds to make this plan a reality!

    This indoor play yard would give these young patients a wonderful opportunity to have a break from their treatment and care and play just like every youngster would like to!

    We have set a goal of $7,000 for this wonderful project. So, I ask you, most sincerely, will you partner with me to help bring this great project to fruition? Your support is so important, because it will allow us to give these wonderful young patients a safe and happy place for fun and enjoyment!

    I hope that you and your family have a safe and happy summer and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

    All the best,
    Don Lukowski
    Founder and Chairperson
