Share Your Talents

The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic cannot run without the help of its volunteers. Almost every person associated with the tournament serves in a volunteer capacity including our Board of Directors, Tournament Planning Committee, food tent workers, logistics crew, tournament director, social media crew, photographers, silent auction team and more.

In addition, thanks once again to an extremely generous anonymous donor and our incredible partners at USTA Northern, the Volunteer Give Back program is back in 2025! Players and family members of high school and college tennis teams have the opportunity to fundraise for their local tennis programs by volunteering at the 2025 Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic. For every hour volunteered at the 2025 event, our anonymous donor gives $10 to the volunteer's school tennis program, which is then matched (up to $500/team) by USTA Northern (for all public institutions). The anonymous donor also gives another $10 for every hour volunteered to Pine Tree Apple Classic Fund in support of the cause!  For more information on the Volunteer Give Back Program, and to get your team registered to help, contact Lisa Mushett at 612-804-4008 or at lisa@ptacf.org.
