MUBADALA DC OPEN

WTEF is proud to be the nonprofit beneficiary of the Mubadala DC Open, one of the oldest and most prestigious tournaments in tennis and the only combined ATP & WTA 500 tournament in the world.

Mubadala has partnered with WTEF through a transformative Community Champion partnership that reaches across continents and cultures – successfully expanding programs that provide critical educational resources and tennis instruction to hundreds of youth.

“I was nervous to play in front of people. Sometimes I wanted to quit because I did not believe in myself. But my coaches and teammates encouraged me every day. They told me to keep trying to speak up and believe in myself. Little by little, I became more confident…Then something amazing happened. My confidence in tennis helped me in school, too. I started raising my hand in class more. My grades improved, and I felt proud of it.”

Tomei, WTEF student

“When I came to [CFE Summer] camp, it helped me learn what I want to be in life, and what I should be in life.”

Olivia, WTEF student
