Because of scheduling conflicts, prior
commitments, other tournaments, and a lack of reserved courts, we will not be
doing a global
rescheduling. We are asking players to reschedule on their own to finish
their matches. We are providing contact information to all
players as quickly as we can by e-mail. Thank you for your co-operation
and understanding.

Sickle Cell Tennis Classic
Donates $6,000 to A.I. duPont Hospital for
Children.
At a Wine and Cheese Reception held on June 4th, 2010 at the Medical Director's Residence at the Nemours Hospital facility, a $6,000 check from money raised at last year's Sickle Cell Tennis Classic was presented to Wilmington's A.I. duPont Hospital for Children.
The tournament host, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Zeta Omega Chapter and their 501©3 charitable Arm, Pearls of Hope Foundation, Inc., presented this donation to be used to help fund research for Sickle Cell Anemia a painful blood disorder affecting ethnic populations worldwide.
Funds were raised by members of the hosting organizations soliciting patrons, ads, and community donations for the 32nd Annual Sickle Cell Tennis Classic held last August 2009. Over the years the Tennis Classic has raised more than $222,000 for Sickle Cell research.
The event served as the kick-off to the 2010 Sickle Cell Tennis Classic season (the 33rd year). This year the tournament will be held the weekends of July 31-August 1 and August 7-8, 2010. To register, make a donation or learn more, click on the links above.
