Charity Tennis Tournament, January 10-14

September 29th, 2006

Now that fall is fast approaching and our snowbirds are starting to plan their annual trip south, thoughts of our annual tennis tournament are formulating.

Cypress Cove’s Annual Charity Tennis Tournament will be held on January 10-14, 2007. Seniors will play January 10th and 11th with Men and Ladies playing on the 10th and Mixed play on the 11th. Age groups include 50-65, 65-75, and over 75 with A, B and C levels of play.

The Open Division is held January 13th – 14th with Men and Ladies playing on the 13th and Mixed on the 14th. A, B, and C levels of play are contested.

A single entry fee of $15 covers entries in as many as four events per individual (Men or Ladies and Mixed in both Senior and Open Divisions). All participants receive T-shirts and qualify for prize money totaling $1,000 in Cove Bucks for first and second places.

Over the past three years, the Tennis Tournament Committee has donated approximately $2,500 per year to the Children’s Advocacy Center of Osceola County, raised through the generosity of more than 20 major sponsors, as well as many individual donors of raffle items.

During the event, we hold two major social activities; a welcoming cocktail party hosted by Cypress Cove and a banquet held in the Cove’s Lakeside Restaurant, as well as award ceremonies at the completion of each event.

A commemorative CD of photos of all participants and most spectators is available for purchase as well, with the proceeds again benefiting the Children’s charity.

The Tournament Committee invites all interested players to come join us in this wonderful fun charity event. Special packages including tournament fees and rooms are available. Registration forms and a printable flyer for the tournament are now available at the Cypress Cove website tennis link.

Sponsorships are still available at either the Gold, Silver or Bronze levels as well as individual donations and raffle items. Please contact a member of the Tennis Committee at Cypress_Cove_Tennis_Committee@yahoo.com.
