R Baby’s 6th Anniversary New York Tennis Tournament
Brooklyn, New York
On Saturday, April 16, 2016, NY Tennis Chair Jason Pinsky hosted the 6th Annual New York Tennis Tournament: Serving To Saving Babies’ Lives.
Hosted at MatchPoint NYC in Brooklyn, New York, players enjoyed a competitive day of tennis. The event, including a highly anticipated and lively Calcutta Auction, raised close to $250K. Over the last six years, this event has raised almost $1.5 million to improve the pediatric emergency care of babies and children throughout the Northeast.
Twenty doubles teams participated in this competitive tournament featuring top business leaders in the tri-state area including Bill Ackman-Pershing Square Capital Management, David Einhorn-Greenlight Capital, Rob Pohly-Samlyn Capital, Jeremy Mindich-Scopia Capital Management, Bruce Richards-Marathon Asset Management, James Majeski- Majeski Foundation and Larry Penn-Ellington Financial. They were joined by additional business leaders and world-ranked players, all of whom made the event a tremendous success.
Congratulations to tournament winners Jeffrey Appel and Adam El Mihdawy who ultimately triumphed in the finals against finalists Marc Powers and Rob Pohly.
