Serve2Cure set
The eighth annual Serve2Cure charity tennis tournament will be held from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 15 in Mt. Lebanon. The Rally To Ace Cancer is twofold: to draw players from all over the region who want to play in a fun, yet competitive, tournament and to raise awareness and money for the fight against cancer.
Players will be on teams of 20 comprised of men and women and an equal distribution of intermediate (3.0-3.5) and advanced players (3.5-plus). The day begins with triples followed by men’s/women’s doubles and mixed doubles.
The day also includes an assortment of activities including a health expo, tennis lesson, cardio tennis classes, and supervised non-tennis activities for children. There will be raffle baskets and silent auction items.
All proceeds go directly to the Pittsburgh Melanoma Foundation.
