Chesapeake Bank Men's Charity Tennis Tournament
23 Years of Support for Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg
Our contribution to Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg has grown from $4,000 in 1999 to a contribution of $30,000 in 2021 for a total contribution of $958,000 to Hospice House over the 22 years of our tournament (our 2020 tournament was not held due to COVID). All of the Hospice House services come at no cost to patients’ families. MCT has worked hard to grow along with the community’s needs and, because Hospice House must raise its entire budget each year, MCT plays a major role in the services they are able to provide.
Chesapeake Bank MCT Tennis Tournament
Our successful 2021 Chesapeake Bank Men's Charity Tennis tournament was held Saturday, October 2 at Kingsmill Tennis Center with a fun morning of competitive tennis on a truly beautiful day.
Our tournament format with faster morning play has been a big success. Play starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends before lunch at 12:30 followed by a reception, awards ceremony and presentation of our donation check to Hospice House.
Players support Men's Charity Tennis with their entry fees and contributions. See Entry Form section of this website. Attendance at the tennis tournament is free for sponsors and spectators. Everyone is welcome to the tournament and reception. Come out and enjoy the action!
Pickleball
A Morning of Pickleball to Benefit Hospice House. With the tremendous popularity of pickleball, Men's Charity Tennis decided to branch out and, after sponsoring tennis tournaments for 21 years, added a very popular and successful pickleball social event in 2019. It was our initial effort to have some fun helping to support the local pickleball community and Hospice House. Details of a planned 2022 event will be announced soon.

Regrettably, due to the upswing in COVID cases we decided to cancel our 2021 wine tasting event at the Williamsburg Pottery for a second year, after hosting a fun and successful event there in 2019. Details of our previous event are given below:
"The Williamsburg Pottery, and Men’s Charity Tennis presented a Wine Event in September 2019. Over 25 wines were featured for tastings and available for purchase at up to 20% off regular retail prices.
Regional wine distributors provided tastings, information, and expert advice.
Cheeses, fruit, and light appetizers were also provided for guests.
Dixieland music was performed by the DOG Street Rhythm Kings."
We plan to schedule another wine event in 2022, and hope you will consider joining your friends and neighbors for an enjoyable evening while you support Hospice House and Support Care of Williamsburg.
The 2022 event is planned to be held at the Williamsburg Pottery Wine Shop, 6692 Richmond Road, Williamsburg, VA.
Go west on Route 60 past Centerville Road and turn right at the second Pottery traffic light. As you enter the parking lot, the Wine Shop is ahead of you in the building on the left.
