LITM Partners With Sid Jacobson JCC For New Leaders’ Tacos, Tennis and Tequila Night

Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center (SJJCC) held a special fundraiser at SPORTIME Syosset, New Leaders’ Tennis, Tacos, and Tequila to help raise money for its organization. The event was held in conjunction with Long Island Tennis Magazine, who modeled the event after its successful Courts & Cocktails event series.

SJJCC is the only full-service JCC on Long Island’s North Shore, providing a full range of cutting-edge recreational, health, fitness, educational, cultural arts and social services programs to East Hills and the surrounding community.

“Fundraising events like Sid Jacobson JCC’s Tennis, Tacos and Tequila play a crucial role in making this mission possible,” said Ashley Steck, Development Associate of Special Events for  Sid Jacobson JCC. “These events allow us to generate the financial support needed to sustain and expand our programs, ensuring we can continue to offer essential resources to those in need. Whether it’s providing scholarships for families, funding specialized wellness programs or supporting our social service initiatives, every dollar raised helps us create meaningful impact.

Events like these also serve as an opportunity to engage with our community, build relationships and celebrate the generosity of our supporters and donors.”

That generosity was on display at the event as a sold-out crowd of young adults of varying tennis levels came out to make donations to the organization, and participate in drills, match play and other games.

In the lobby, Dirty Taco catered the evening with a delicious Mexican food spread and there was an open bar set up throughout the evening serving up all sorts of drinks.

“Many attendees have shared how much they enjoyed the event, whether it was the energy of the evening on-court, the catering organized by Dirty Taco & Tequila or the chance to connect with fellow supporters of our mission,” Steck said. “We’ve heard wonderful remarks about the event’s organization and the overall experience, which reinforces the importance of these gatherings in bringing our community together. We successfully raised a lot of money to support our programs. This incredible generosity ensures that we can continue to provide essential services and make a lasting impact on the lives of those who rely on us.”

David Sickmen, Publisher of Long Island Tennis Magazine, added:

“Our Courts & Cocktails event series has become a staple in the local tennis community and this event was a spinoff of that. We love helping to bring the community together for fun and unique Saturday night experiences while also raising money for worthy causes. We are appreciative of our partnership with the JCC and love all that they do and we wanted to help make sure the event was done professionally and that everyone had a great time. On this night, with a sold-out event, it was a perfect time for couples and friends to spend time together on and off the court, and also meet new people; the money raised makes everything worth it. We are looking forward to operating many more events like this and continue to partner with great organizations like the SJJCC.”
