Pride Month has arrived!

This Sunday, June 4 kicks off the season with Queens Pride in Jackson Heights, themed “Strength In Solidarity.” This the first event in NYC’s 2023 Pride calendar and marks the 30th anniversary of Queens Pride. The festival organizers will be pulling out all the stops with an afternoon filled with entertainment, musical and dance performers.. 

As all tennis fans know, Flushing/Queens is the home of the USTA’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (NTC), named after the legendary tennis icon and gay rights activist. USTA is elevating its long-standing commitment to the LGBTQ community by sponsoring MTG’s booth at the Queens Pride Festival on Sunday afternoon. This is the first MTG-USTA collaboration and an opportunity to promote tennis to a crowd of 30,000 festival-goers.

The Board is looking for a few volunteers to help staff the MTG-USTA booth from 12pm-6pm this Sunday, June 4, alongside our board members Catherine Bussey, Eddie Liao, and Moh Yang. We’ll have a table stocked with both MTG flyers, USTA information, racquets, trophies and other paraphernalia to get people excited about tennis, MTG, and our collaboration with USTA. Now all we need is some friendly members to help us greet booth visitors and tell them why you’re part of the MTG family!

If you’d like to celebrate Pride and your love of tennis at the same time, please add your name to the list and select the time(s) you can help out. You will receive a follow-up email confirmation with exact meeting location.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers!

MTG Board of Directors
