Marking year 51 for the Harlem Junior Tennis & Education Program , former board chair James R. Kelly III, wearing a seersucker suit in memory of the late Mayor David Dinkins, delighted the audience at last week’s gala with a donation of $51,000. The mood was festive and the energy high—there was even a mini tennis court in the ballroom—as attendees celebrated the program that combines tennis with educational and wellness programming for boys and girls ages 6–18.
“I enjoy the different personalities at the program. It makes the practices fun. And different play styles. I like how sometimes we can come together as a group and be friends. A lot of us are really close,” said Kayon Johns, a senior who has been with NJTEP for six years. He will attend SUNY Buffalo, where he plans to double major in financial analytics and law, and hopes to also play competitive tennis.
