Full Special Event
Tournament directors nationwide can take part in supporting
breast cancer research, treatment and awareness by hosting
"Racquet for the Cure" fundraisers in conjunction with local
tournaments, or as stand-alone special events.
The original "Racquet for the
Cure" event, founded in Denver, Colorado, is hosted as a
one-day, women's-only tournament, with a kick-off mixed doubles
fundraiser on the evening prior to the main team competition.
Fundraising is achieved from
donations submitted with entry, to exhibition challenges against
guest professionals for a set fee. A silent auction is offered
at the event banquet, individual donations are accepted at any
time, and bottom-line profits from the event (made possible by
sponsors who offset expenses) are added to the total donation
amount. |
