We are excited to invite you to one of our most meaningful events of the year—Dinner on Center Court.
This special evening is more than just a celebration of tennis. It is a powerful opportunity to support the FREE community programs that are at the heart of everything we do at MATA.
Proceeds from Dinner on Center Court directly fund:
- Net Therapy – adaptive tennis programs serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Veterans Therapy – bringing the healing power of tennis to those who have served our country
- NJTL (National Junior Tennis & Learning) – our after-school youth development program combining tennis, education, and life skills
We are also proud to share that Net Therapy is expanding in 2026 to include Blind & Low Vision tennis and Wheelchair tennis, allowing us to serve even more individuals in our community.
In addition, this May—during National Tennis Month—we will launch our NJTL Open Courts Initiative, bringing tennis directly into underserved neighborhoods across Macon. With newly resurfaced courts in Unionville, Pleasant Hill, and East Macon, this initiative will provide access, equipment, and programming where it’s needed most—removing barriers and creating opportunity through the game of tennis.
Dinner on Center Court is designed to ensure these programs continue to grow and remain accessible to all—at no cost to participants.
We hope you will join us for an unforgettable evening while making a lasting impact in our community. Your support truly makes the difference.
