ANNUAL FUNDRAISING
Washington Kastles
MCTEF hosts an annual auction in connection with an exciting Kastles Team Tennis match. The silent auction features an array of exciting items, and complementary food and beverages. By purchasing a ticket to the auction, you also receive a seat for the Kastles match. This past year, our auction was visited by none other than Francis Tiafoe, a rising star on the ATP tour. Come cheer on the home team as well as support the foundation!
