The Milwaukee Tennis & Education Foundation (MTEF), a local chapter of the national organization co-founded by Arthur Ashe, is gearing up for its 12th Annual MTEF Tennis Ball Dinner & Auction, titled “Empowering a child…priceless."

For 2010, MTEF has established a goal of $150,000 profit and 450 attendees. Last year MTEF raised $4000,000 to support our programs with $114,000 coming from the proceeds of the Tennis Ball. Evening highlights will include emcees Steve “The Homer” True, the 2010 MTEF video, as well as entertainment from one of the area’s most popular groups, the Brew City Horns.
