Grand Opening

GRAND OPENING EVENT - JULY 12, 2025

Thanks to all of your overwhelming support, the grand opening event was a great success!

Thank you to local photographer Tom Ganser for providing photos of the event!

Watch the recording of Reese's speech to the attendees of the ribbon-cutting ceremony that kicked off our event! Also, enjoy various photos from the exhibition doubles play at the event between Reese and members of the UW-Whitewater Men's tennis team.

A $25 donation would sponsor one cinch sack to be provided to a library for student checkout.

As part of the Reese Brantmeier Project’s goal of making tennis accessible to everyone, tennis equipment is being donated to the Whitewater school libraries for those who would like to try the sport.

Cinch sacks include two rackets (size appropriate for the student’s age at each school), tennis balls, and a dry erase card with basic tennis information and a scoring card. They will be offered for checkout at the 3 local elementary schools, as well as the middle and high schools. We also hope to provide them through the public library soon.
