NYJTL 2024 Annual Gala

NYJTL (New York Junior Tennis & Learning) was founded in 1969 by Arthur Ashe and several of his colleagues. Ashe, to this day the only African American male player to have won the US Open and Wimbledon, was committed to ensuring equal access for all youth to tennis and education. For 50 years, NYJTL has changed lives; today, it’s the largest nonprofit youth tennis and education program in the nation, serving 85,000 K-12 NYC youth. Every year, the organization holds its largest fundraiser in the spring, its annual gala, in New York City. Funds raised allow NYJTL to offer community and afterschool programs at no cost to participants across all five boroughs of NYC.

For its 2024 annual gala, the goal was to develop a creative and engaging logo and assets to communicate three key points/messages: NYJTL provides access to resources to foster empowering educational opportunities for young students; NYJTL provides tennis clinics and instruction to foster fitness, healthy living, leadership and many other positive attributes that are gleaned from athletic pursuit; and NYJTL builds a community that is fostered to create a healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable NYC.  Arthur Ashe said, “Through tennis, lives can be changed and spirits reclaimed.” He envisioned “one” NYC, where any child, from any borough, could be a part of a life-changing community. The creative for this year’s event communicated this concept of one community made up of many communities, and the multicultural, diverse and colorful beauty of the different parts that make up the whole. The client loved the design; assets included logo, save the date, printed and digital invitation, event program, event signage, eblast template, web banners and additional print and digital assets. The goal was also to infuse the event itself with the graphics in a way that generated excitement, built awareness and encouraged brand loyalty to the organization and its mission. The event was a resounding success, raising more than $1.3 million, marking it as one of the organization’s most successful fundraisers of its 50-year history.

Testimonials

“Chrys was instrumental in developing an overall design for our art magazine that coordinated with the organization’s new website. Throughout the years, she took  text and photos supplied,  turning them into a truly handsome publication, developing a sensitivity to what should be emphasized.  There were several situations when, for organizational reasons, a major change was required at the last minute. Each time, Chrys handled the “disaster’ smoothly, competently and creatively.”
