Charity Tournaments to Watch in 2026

February 25, 2026

Some of Colorado's best tennis events aren't just about competition — they're about giving back. Here are two worth knowing about in 2026.

The Parlando Open

June 26–29, 2026 All-Doubles USTA-Sanctioned Levels 2.5–Open

The Parlando Open is building a reputation as one of the Front Range's standout charity events. In its inaugural year, players showed up in force and raised more than $15,000 for Julie's Program — Parlando School of Musical Arts' outreach for people in the community living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The round robin format runs Friday afternoon into Saturday semifinals and finals. Men's and Women's divisions return, and mixed doubles is new for 2026. Player goodie bags, breakfast, lunch, and snacks are all included.

Can't commit to the full tournament? Friday also features a drop-in adult drill and a kids clinic led by Club Greenwood pros — a great way to support the cause and get on the court.

A Common Thread

Different organizers, different formats, different venues — but both of these tournaments independently chose to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Between them, they raised over $44,000 in their inaugural years alone. That says something about where this community puts its energy.
