Limited Tickets Still Available for 11th Annual Fundraiser Supporting Johnny Mac Tennis Project’s Mission to Promote Equity, Access, and Opportunity for Underserved Youth

Amagansett, NY (July 24, 2025) — Wimbledon finalist Milos Raonic is the newest addition to the 11th Annual JMTP Pro Am taking place Saturday, August 16, 2025, at SPORTIME Amagansett. Raonic will join John and Patrick McEnroe, Marion Bartoli, James Blake, Bob and Mike Bryan, Mary Joe Fernandez, and Tommy Haas for a fun afternoon of friendly competition with a serious purpose.

The fundraiser, recognized as the world’s largest one-day Pro Am, pairs tennis legends with amateurs across eight competitive flights to raise critical funds for the Johnny Mac Tennis Project (JMTP). JMTP, a not-for-profit organization, helps to eliminate economic and social barriers for children in under-served and under-resourced neighborhoods by providing access to the sport as well as scholarships to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy (JMTA). Since its founding in 2012, JMTP has introduced the sport of tennis to over 16,000 New York City youngsters and provided over 500 means-tested scholarships that have allowed young players to attend JMTA.
 

Amateur and spectator tickets are available for purchase at proam2025.givesmart.com. Doors open at 1:00 pm; the event begins at 2:00 pm. In addition to the tournament, attendees can bid on rare auction items and experiences and connect with the tennis community in a lively and vibrant atmosphere. Space is limited. Food and refreshments will be available.   

“We’re so excited to have Milos Raonic joining this year’s Pro Am,” said Ryann Cutillo, Executive Director of the Johnny Mac Tennis Project. “These legendary players show up not just because they love the game, but because they believe in what we’re doing – making tennis accessible to kids who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to play. Their support sends a strong message about the importance of access and opportunity in tennis.”

About the Johnny Mac Tennis Project (JMTP)

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by tennis legend John McEnroe, JMTP introduces the sport of tennis as a life-long health, fitness and social activity to thousands of under-resourced New York City area children. For a smaller group of dedicated young athletes, JMTP provides a pathway to success through competitive tennis, leading to college scholarships, careers in the industry, and, for a few, professional tennis careers and, perhaps, Grand Slam titles.

Major League Pickleball (MLP) and the Brooklyn Pickleball Team (BKPT)  - a Premier Level MLP franchise - proudly hosted MLP New York at SPORTIME Randall’s Island from July 3–6.

The four-day event showcased the best pickleball professionals in the world across 30 coed team matches - including four featuring hometown favorites BKPT - and brought an exciting mix of food, drinks, music, and sponsor activations to the venue.

Top professional teams, including the Brooklyn Pickleball Team, New York Hustlers, Florida Smash, Chicago Slice, and D.C. Pickleball Team, delivered nonstop action throughout the holiday weekend. It was the perfect way to celebrate the 4th of July in NYC - with fireworks on and off the court.

Our own SPORTIME Pickleball community had the rare opportunity to compete just steps from the pros, creating an unforgettable environment where elite play met local passion. Practices and matches buzzed with energy as fans lined the courts to watch, cheer, and be part of the action.

Home to the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, and built to host world-class events, SPORTIME Randall’s Island, the largest year-round tennis and paddle sports club in the world, was proud to welcome Major League Pickleball and to support the continued growth of the sport. Thank you to MLP, BKPT, our vendors, and the incredible fans who made this event one to remember.
