A charitable organization supporting local tennis, and Hospice House & Support Care of Williamsburg
We are saddened by the passing of MCT co-founder Bob Kiley on October 29. Bob was a driving force behind the growth of the annual MCT tennis tournament and served as our first President from 1999 to 2012. In his honor, each year we award the Kiley Cup to our tournament champions. We will certainly miss him.
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors, donors, tennis players and volunteers. Thanks to their generosity and efforts, we have reached total donations to Hospice House of $1 million!
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 $42,000 in 2022 for a total contribution of $1,000,000 to Hospice House over the 23 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.
Men's Charity Tennis and Earth Fare hosted
“A Taste of Italy”
To Benefit Hospice House & Support Care of Williamsburg
September 28
at Earth Fare, 208 Monticello Avenue
Thanks to Earth Fare for hosting our special evening as we explored the wines of Italy, with winemaking traditions that go back thousands of years! From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the Valpolicella region of Northern Italy, traditional wines from different regions were paired with gourmet foods to complement each one. An experienced sommelier described the selections to approximately 60 guests. It was a delightful, memorable gathering!
Our 2023 Chesapeake Bank Men's Charity Tennis tournament will be held Saturday, September 30 at Kingsmill Tennis Center. We look forward to a morning of exciting, competitive play on the courts. Our rain date (if necessary) will be Saturday, October 14.
Our tournament format with faster morning play has been a big success. Play starts at 9:00 a.m. and ends around noon, followed by finals matches, lunch, a reception, awards ceremony and presentation of our donation check to Hospice House.
Players support Men's Charity Tennis with their entry fees and donations. See the Entry Form section of this website. Attendance at the tennis tournament is free for sponsors and spectators. Everyone is always welcome to the tournament and reception. Come out and enjoy the action!
