The U.S. Tennis Association and the Arthur Ashe Foundation contributed $400,000 from the proceeds to the USA Tennis National Junior Tennis League, and another $122,000 was donated to various player charities through the American Express Skills Challenge.

The USTA said a crowd of 20,838 in Arthur Ashe Stadium and thousands more on the grounds of the National Tennis Center on Saturday attended the fifth annual Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, a day-long festival of tennis exhibitions, clinics, fun and games, and musical entertainment.

Arthur Ashe Kids' Day honors the late tennis star and continues his mission of promoting education and bringing the sport of tennis to children.
