The Jayden Chittick Open - 2023

Welcome to the third instalment of the Jayden Chittick Open, celebrating Jayden's life with his family and friends and playing the game he loved. Jayden inspired many people through his social media platforms, particularly those suffering from mental ill-health and drug addiction and the LGBT community. The success of the past two events has raised over $22,000 for the Black Dog foundation which will aid in fast-tracking mental health research, preventing and treating mental illness within the community,
The day will again consist of a 32-team mixed doubles competition commencing from 10:00am onwards on the 28th of January at Milton Tennis Courts, playing in a win or be eliminated format.
As per previous years, Milton Ulladulla Districts Tennis Association Inc have been kind enough to donate use of the courts for the day and we are extremely thankful for their ongoing gratitude. We also are extremely thankful for the many local businesses and individuals who continue to sponsor and assisted in making the day run smoothly.

I only knew Jayden as an incredibly cute, full of so much energy little kid, but followed him on social media as an adult and watched how he shared his journey which was such a brave and powerful thing to do. I'm sure he helped many by doing this. It is sad to see such a beautiful soul gone.
