Are You Ready To Pine Tree 2026?
Please join us for one of the most special weekends of the year! The Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic has become a beloved tradition in our community—an invitation‑only celebration of tennis, camaraderie, and purpose. Together, we fund life‑changing cancer and rehabilitation research for children and adolescents through our long‑standing partnership with Children’s Minnesota.
It is with great excitement that we invite you and a partner to participate in the 2026 Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic, August 6–9 at Life Time White Bear Lake, as we proudly celebrate the 41st year of this remarkable event.
This year’s tournament will once again feature four divisions of mixed doubles play: Open, Masters (35+), Grand Masters (50+) and Juniors. For Masters and Grand Masters, both players must reach the minimum age during the 2026 calendar year.
Your talent, energy, and generosity are the heartbeat of Pine Tree. You are receiving this invitation because you help make this event extraordinary. What began as a small community tournament in 1986 - raising just $1,500 - has grown into a powerful movement that has now raised over $8.6 million for kids fighting cancer. And that impact is driven by YOU.
Registration is NOW OPEN, and space is limited. Players who commit by June 15 receive automatic entry into the tournament. Demand was so high last year that we needed play‑in matches for the Open draw - so we encourage you to secure your spot early!

Pine Tree players are truly the engine behind our mission, accounting for 75% of all funds raised each year. In 2025, players collectively raised more than $400,000. This year, we are asking each adult player to raise at least $1,000 as we pursue our ambitious 2026 goal of $600,000. Together, we can make it happen.
