He now serves as president of the Milwaukee Tennis Classic, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Mulcahy is a former No. 1 singles player for Marquette University, where he captained the team for all three years of his varsity career (1957-1959). He was a two-time participant in the NCAA championships.

In April 2007, the new electronic scoreboard in MU’s Helfaer Tennis Stadium & Recreation Center, was dedicated to Mulcahy. Mulcahy and his wife, Judy, have three daughters – Mary, Meg and Beth – who all played varsity tennis at Marquette.

ince the initiation of the Richard A. SMcGarrity Scholarship in 1984, more than 90 Milwaukee Public Schools graduates from more than 20 different high schools have received academic scholarships based on aca‐ demic achievement, proficiency in tennis and overall leadership during their high school McGarrity careers. This year the program was expanded to include graduates of high schools throughout Milwaukee County. Brown Deer High School will be the first. Beginning in 2011, two new MPS/BDS Scholarship Program scholarships were named for Bernice K. Rose, the first African‐American woman to serve on the Milwaukee County Board and John Chapman (Chips) Chester, a Milwaukee native, who served for many years as a US diplomat and foreign affairs advisor. The MPS/BDS scholarship selection committee chooses the winners from a pool of applicants submit‐ ted by their former coaches and principals. Currently, the committee consists of Jack Hill (chair), Arthur Phillips (vice chair), William Molbeck, Sandy Berman, Angela Colbert, Demond Means and Mary Read. Each application form includes a statement describing the student athlete’s education goals and aca‐ Rose demic, tennis and public service accomplishments. The committee meets to review and discuss the submittals, interviews the candidates and then makes the final selections. The scholarships may be used at the college or university of a recipient’s choice. The selection committee operates independently from MTC, Inc. and is not in any way affiliated with Marquette University. Funds for the Chester and Rose scholarships are invested and dispersed through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Funds for the McGarrity scholarship are being held in escrow with the Read Foundation during the process of establishing a fund within the GMF or a similar organization.
