Tennis First - through the ages
Guests came together to celebrate the achievements of past and present Grantees, at The All England Lawn Tennis Club overlooking Centre Court.
The evening started with a welcome from our Chair, Joe Garner who invited Emma Raducanu on to stage. We then played our favourite game of ‘in or out’ which always goes down well! It was a treat to hear from special guests Jodie Burrage, Jack Draper and Liam Broady, as host John Inverdale quizzed them on what it’s really like on the professional tour, their journey to career highs and what lies ahead in the 2024 season. We enjoyed the company of grantees Henry Searle and Mark Ceban, former grantees Naomi Broady and Eden Silva, and our Trustees.
Supporters had the chance to bid on exceptional lots in the silent auction and dance the night away to a live band, after a 3 course meal. It was so lovely to see many familiar faces and introduce Tennis First to new friends during the evening.
Thank you to our sponsors of the evening Fortius, and to everyone who joined us we can’t wait to see you soon!
