The story of the Pine Tree Apple Tennis Classic (PTATC) is an amazing one! Ron and Mary Ann Peterson created the PTATC in 1986 when their 12 year-old daughter Julieann was diagnosed with leukemia. Their mission was to raise money to provide the medical professionals at Children’s Minnesota a means and a way to research, while still being able to perform the crucial efforts of treating children with cancer.
At that time, there were no meaningful tumor registries and protocols for how to treat many cancers with a high degree of success. The Petersons (right) wanted to give back after receiving such great care for their daughter and contribute towards the fight to end pediatric cancer.
To date, the Pine Tree Apple Classic has raised $8 million for cancer research at Children's Minnesota and over 600 hospitals in 66 countries around the world as your generous financial support helps provide vital information to cancer specialists and supports research areas where there is little or no national attention.
