Game, Set, Gala: Washington Tennis & Education Foundation Celebrates 70 Years of Building Life Champions
 

The air in Washington D.C. is buzzing with excitement as the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation (WTEF) prepares to celebrate a remarkable milestone: 70 years of transforming lives through the power of tennis and education! This momentous occasion will be commemorated at the highly anticipated "Share the Love Gala," held at the exquisite Salamander Hotel.

This isn't just any gala; it's a testament to seven decades of dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to the youth of our community. The WTEF has consistently provided invaluable academic and athletic programs, shaping young individuals into "life champions" both on and off the court.

Adding a touch of local brilliance to this already sparkling event, Mystique, the renowned fine jewelry boutique, is proud to be a sponsor. For Mystique's owner, Liz Mandros, this sponsorship is more than just a business decision; it's deeply personal. Liz grew up honing her skills and passion for tennis right here in the D.C. area, spending countless hours on the courts of Belle Haven Country Club. Her personal connection to the sport and its profound impact on young lives makes supporting the WTEF's mission incredibly meaningful.

In a truly heartwarming gesture, Mystique will be contributing a special, exquisite piece of jewelry to be auctioned off at the gala, with all proceeds directly benefiting the WTEF's vital programs. Imagine the sparkle of a unique Mystique creation, knowing that its beauty will directly translate into opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive through tennis.

The "Share the Love Gala" promises an evening of elegance and entertainment. Guiding guests through the festivities will be the charismatic NBC4 News4 Anchors, Jim Handly and Jummy Olabanji, serving as the evening's gracious hosts. The vibrant atmosphere will be further elevated by the sensational Johnny Smyth Band, ensuring a night filled with rhythm and celebration.

This gala is a powerful reminder of how a community can come together to support a cause that truly makes a difference. The WTEF's 70-year legacy is a beacon of hope and opportunity, and with the generous support of sponsors like Mystique, and the collective spirit of all attendees, the future looks incredibly bright for the next generation of "life champions."

Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone and "sharing the love" for the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation!
