What a day it was.
On Saturday, June 27th, we hosted the third edition of the Thirty Love Fundraiser Day Tournament at VVGA Tennis in Amsterdam. And if we had to sum it up in one word: unforgettable.
The courts were packed from morning to evening. Despite the heat (let’s be honest, it was properly hot), everybody gave it their best. Players showed up, competed hard, and made the most of every match. We had extra shade, cooling stations and paddling pools on standby, but the energy on the courts never dipped.

Between the matches, there was plenty more to enjoy. The Grand Auction was a highlight, with bid after bid pushing the total higher than anyone expected. The musical bingo had people shouting answers across the terrace. And once the last balls had been hit, the dance floor took over.
But beyond the fun, there was something more meaningful running through the whole day.
Through our partner project in Uganda, the Thirty Love Foundation supports underprivileged kids by giving them access to tennis and education. Two things most of us take for granted, but that can genuinely change the course of a child’s life.
And this year, the numbers speak for themselves: we raised more than €7,000.
We are incredibly proud of that number, and even more proud of the community that made it happen. Every single person who showed up, competed, bid, danced, or simply believed in what we are building: thank you.
See you next year.
