Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer, severely affecting what many of us take for granted - the ability to have a healthy childhood. The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic benefits the cancer research program at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.

There are many parts that make up this great event. We hope you can join us for one, or all of them!
