The inaugural Zera Café charity tennis tournament took place on September 11 in Hampstead Park. The community rallied on the courts to raise over $40,000 to support Zera Café’s mission of providing meaningful, supported employment to neurodivergent adults. Nearly 70 players 

came out to play and enjoy dinner together along with 50 spectators who cheered them on. 

Zera Café founder Eve Rochman describes the event as an overwhelming success. We are so grateful to our amazing committee and to the vibrant tennis community, whose enthusiasm and 

encouragement continue to strengthen our mission of inclusion and made this new initiative a success.
