Yonkers Tennis Center celebrated its 40th Anniversary with an Open House Event on November 9th, 2010. The event not only celebrated 40 years of tennis, but also the recent, eco-friendly renovations, which have made Yonkers Tennis Center the greenest tennis club in Westchester County. Initiatives include a donation box for Soles4Souls, where customers can drop off their used shoes for those in need. Thus far, there have been close to 300 pairs of shoes donated. Other improvements include recycled furniture, “green seal” cleaning products, reduced paper marketing, printing on recycled stock, and 100% Green-e certified renewable energy, which has helped reduce the club’s carbon footprint by an amount equivalent to half a million miles of road traffic.

In celebration of 40 years, President Joe Curto, Jr. made a $10,000 donation to Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE), a non-profit organization that strives to ensure quality education for Yonkers Public School students and helps prepare them for future education and success.

Representatives from Wilson, Dunlop and Head came to the event to demonstrate their latest gear. Guests also indulged in chair massages from Oasis Day Spa and treatments from acupuncturist Myoung Im. Raffle prizes included private tennis lessons, tennis camp, and more.
