Its operations center on delivering an ATP World Tour 250 event whose proceeds support the local community, with a focus on middle school athletic programs within Winston-Salem/Forsyth County and the broader Forsyth County area. The event attracts professional players to compete in singles and doubles draws, providing a platform for youth outreach and program expansion, including bringing back cross country and extending tennis access to middle schools. Based in Winston-Salem, the organization emphasizes its role within the spectator sports sector as a community-oriented tennis tournament. Recent developments include leadership updates within the tournament administration and finance team, reflecting ongoing governance and operational refinements.
