How John and Patrick McEnroe are helping to remove racial, social and economic barriers to success through tennis
The Johnny Mac Tennis Project continues its work at SPORTIME Randall’s Island in NYC.
NEW YORK—The Johnny Mac Tennis Project, founded by John McEnroe in 2010, is a nonprofit organization that aims to remove economic, racial and social barriers through tennis and in the New York City area.
“My brother realized fairly quickly that raising money for scholarship would be the best way to support kids who couldn’t afford to pay to come here full time,” Patrick McEnroe told TENNIS.com at SPORTIME Randall's Island. “Then it grew to helping school programs and the community. A lot of the kids who come here to play tennis have never even seen a facility like this, so it’s definitely making a huge impact on their lives.”
