Mike GreenBaum - 2022 Hall Of FAme Inductee
The Hall of Fame Award honors an individual or family that has made an outstanding and long-term contribution to the Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic. Mike Greenbaum has been a steadfast contributor for over 27 years and has always kept us grounded in the importance of our targeted research and positive impact to children and their families all around the world.
Mike’s involvement in Pine Tree started back in 1995, as a volunteer when he worked for Lake Area Bank, one of our early Presenting Sponsors. As a tennis player new to the community, Mike was excited to get involved with this amazing event, and as a bank employee he volunteered in a variety of ways including handling the daily cash collections/banking for the event.
After Mike’s initial exposure to the event, he was hooked and took on greater leadership roles over the years including:
Mike is a great listener with a strong strategic orientation. He kept the group grounded in the importance of our mission, and the need that still exists for this research to continue. He is a great guy that got involved, and is making a difference for an amazing cause. We are so grateful for Mike’s friendship, support and commitment to our organization and the cause.
Finally, Mike is pretty certain that he and Dr. Yoav Messinger are the only two people to have run all of the Pine Tree 5k/10k run events. Now that’s dedication!
Congratulations Mike, and welcome to the Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic Hall of Fame as our 2022 inductee!

- Co-Chairing the PTATC in 2000, raising over $170,000 that year with fellow Co-Chairs Keith Erickson, Carol Danielson and Bruce Vassar.
- Starting the Junior Pine Tree tournament. Mike is excited to see the Junior tournament back - and flourishing again - this year!
- Serving on the PTATC Advisory Committee/Board for 6 years.
- Participating in several important strategic planning sessions over the years, helping shape the successful growth trajectory of the event and research.

Clay Sollenberger Wins 2022 Sportsmanship Award
Long-time tournament player and Pine Tree supporter Clay Sollenberger was named the 2022 Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic Sportsmanship Award Winner.
Sollenberger first started playing in Pine Tree as a junior player, winning the championship at one point (he still has his trophy for winning) before playing in the Open and now Masters Division of the tournament. He also serves as the play-by-play announcer for Sunday's live-streamed finals and took part in perhaps one of the most memorable moments in Pine Tree history when he shaved his chest at the Friday Night player party to raise money for the cause.
An endless supporter of the event both on and off the court, Sollenberger raised $5,145 for the cause this year.
