September 9, 2026 – Dream Court and RISE Up, two Montgomery area non-profits, are partnering up again to host the third annual HARVEST HOPE fundraising event. Join us on October 22nd, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Lagoon Park Tennis Center, 2855 Lagoon Park Drive, Montgomery, AL, for an evening of tennis and family-friendly
activities.
Calling all tennis players to participate in a Tennis Mixer, as well as friends and family members to join us for an unforgettable night of live music, cocktails, BBQ, raffle items, and kids’ activities. If you are just starting to play tennis or as advanced as a 4.5, we will pair you up according to your skill level. And if you don’t play tennis, you can enjoy a fun-filled night as we celebrate two local non-profits founded on common platforms: to advocate for individuals with special needs and recognize inclusion. A Bounce House and Face Painting will be available for children—all ages are welcome. Rise up with us to serve hope and change lives at this memorable Fall Fundraising Event!
