This year we’re adding a silent auction and a raffle to the festivities. Actually, we’re calling the latter a “Raffle Nadal” because we can’t resist a good name pun.
Proceeds will benefit Woods Tennis Center Scholarships and a Nebraska-based USTA member organization to help grow community tennis.
Silent Auction
Payable via Cash, Check, or PayPal
In The Beauty & Grace of Roger Federer, Lincoln artist Jerome Ehrlich employs shades of black, white and gray acrylic on plywood to capture the on-court flair of a tennis icon. The 16-by-24-inch custom painting provides a stunning tribute to the 20-time Grand Slam singles title winner and makes the ultimate showpiece for any Fed fan.
Starting bid: $100

Tune up your game with a private hour-long lesson. Choose to work with one of Lincoln’s finest teaching pros: Maria Mota, Joel Reckewey, Sam Nelson, Joel Patrick or Rick Stempson.
