Boca Raton, FL— The Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton will hold its 10th Annual Tennis Tournament at the Boca Raton Resort & Club on Saturday, January 21st. The tournament is a doubles round-robin that is open to adult players of all skill-levels. Single players are encouraged to play and will be matched at the tournament for doubles play. All levels of play welcome. Players will enjoy snacks and beverages before competition begins and, after the tournament, a complete buffet lunch will be served.
“This tournament is one of the Boca Club’s major annual fundraising events,” said Daniel Cohen, chairman of the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton’s 2012 Tennis Committee. “This year we hope to raise $25,000. The money raised will fund local at-risk children throughout the year.” Numerous sponsorship opportunities are available. Among this year’s sponsors are UBS Financial Services, Inc.; Tiffany & Co.; Boca Raton Resort & Club and Whole Foods.
The matches will be divided into two divisions. In the “competitive division,” players will be able to test their metal against all comers. In the “social division,” which will be more relaxed, players will be able to play their best tennis in a fun but still challenging environment. Players may also play in post-tournament drills and games, bid on items offered in a silent auction, and try their luck in a raffle. Check-in will begin at 11:00 a.m. and play will begin at 12:15 p.m. Space is limited, so interested players are urged to register early. The entry fee for individual players is $100.00. Interested players and potential sponsors may contact Deb Wrazin, VP of Marketing, at (561) 683-3287 ext. 29 or go to events at www.bgcpbc.com to purchase online.
All proceeds from the Boca Tennis Tournament will help support programming for more than 200 children who attend the Boys & Girls Club of Boca Raton for a safe, fun, and educational environment after school and during the summer. Children participate in a variety of programs in the arts; education and career development; sports, fitness and recreation; technology; character and leadership development; and health and life skills.
