Holiday Classic an annual ace for children in need at MUSC

The 15th annual Holiday Classic presented by Safelite benefiting MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital welcomed players to LTP at the Daniel Island Tennis Center for a weekend of competitive tennis and pickleball on Dec. 2-4.

 

Safelite returned for a fourth year as presenting sponsor. A special thanks to returning sponsor The Southern Group and first-time sponsor of our awards Eve Young along with New Realm Brewing Company on Daniel Island who provided food and beverages throughout the weekend for tournament players. Men’s and women’s doubles along with mixed doubles was offered for the tennis players.

 

This year a pickleball tournament was added for the first time to the weekend including men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles events.

 

Tournament players, LTP members, and guests generously gave from the heart by participating in the “You’ve Been Aced” promotion and through donations of more than 250 items from the SJCH Child Life Department Wish List directly impacting the children undergoing treatment at the hospital.

 

“Congratulations to our champions and finalists. The real winners are the children at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital who will enjoy the generosity of each and every one who supported this year’s event. Being in the hospital at any time is hard, however,  being able to

play during a stay allows the children an experience which is somewhat like a normal day outside of the hospital,” said Nancy Heinz, tournament director and membership manager at LTP Daniel Island.
