I don't often write about tennis (come to think about it, change that to never), but the Westchester Children's Museum has added a tennis event to it's fourth annual golf fundraiser at Quaker Ridge GC in Scarsdale, NY. Headlining the event will be former tennis world champion Jim Courier, who won four Grand Slam singles titles, two at the French Open and two at the Australian Open, during his career. He reached the finals of all four major championships and captured a total of 23 singles titles and six doubles titles, spending 58 weeks ranked as the World No. 1 in 1992 and 1993. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2005.
This may be the first year for the tennis event, but it's the fourth for golf. Money raised will support The Westchester Children’s Museum, now under construction at Rye Playland and slated for a soft opening in 2011. The entire project is privately funded, so support for events like this one on September 20 is crucial to its success.
