 In partnership with Bert’s Big AdventureThe Atlanta Cup is offering tennis enthusiasts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity through a silent auction. One lucky person will get the chance to step out of the stands at The Atlanta Cup on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Gas South Arena and onto the court to play against their choice of tennis legend – Naomi Osaka, Aryna Sabalenka, Nick Kyrgios or Ben Shelton.

“Partnering with The Atlanta Cup allows us to create something truly meaningful – both for the auction winner and for the families the auction benefits,” said Bert Weiss, co-founder of Bert’s Big Adventure. “Every bid directly helps us provide more moments of joy and connection for our Bert’s Big Adventure families.”

The highest bidder will receive two private, one-hour lessons with tennis pro Vitek Wild of The Manor Country Club. On Dec. 6, the winner and a guest will enjoy VIP courtside seats, access to the Taste of Tennis buffet and an open bar featuring signature cocktails. They will then be called onto the court for their moment in the spotlight. The highest bidder will play a full game against the tennis star of their choice – Osaka, Sabalenka, Kyrgios or Shelton. No prior tennis experience required.

All proceeds from the auction benefit Bert’s Big Adventure, a nonprofit organization that creates life-changing experiences for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

Bidding is now open at bertsbigadventure.org/tennis, closing Friday, Nov. 28, at 3 p.m.
