The Sickle Cell Tennis Classic Committee, would like to offer
your organization an opportunity to sponsor the 33rd ANNUAL SICKLE CELL
TENNIS CLASSIC to be held for a two-weekend period starting Saturday July 31, 2010.
The Tournament is a great way to gain visibility as a
supporter of the Delaware community’s effort to raise funds for Sickle Cell
Research and Education. The tournament is a fun time for local residents as
well as visitors from Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey. The games are
highly competitive and from the positive comments each year, a "great time is
had by all"! The winners proudly display their trophies. Last year, nearly 300
players competed in over 500 matches.
Each year, one in
four hundred black children are born with the Sickle Cell disease. Specific
details concerning Sickle Cell disease, Tournament History and Financial
Participation, along with the role of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Zeta
Omega Chapter in this event are on this page for your review.
Thank you for your consideration in becoming involved in
fighting this disease for which, thus far, has no known cure. Only through
continuous research can we hope to find a cure. You can be a vital part of this
hope by becoming a sponsor in this year's SICKLE CELL TENNIS CLASSIC.
For further
information, please contact Annie Young at 302-731-0525 or James Monk Fundraising Co-Chairman at 302-323-0161.
We look
forward to partnering with you.
Sincerely,

University initiated the movement of founding a Greek Letter sorority among
Negro women in America. From this small nucleus, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc
has expanded to more than 170,000 college women affiliated with undergraduate
and alumnae chapters located in leading colleges, universities and cities
throughout the United States and abroad. As the Founding members crafted the
purpose of the organization, they included, “…to be of service to all mankind.”
Zeta Omega Chapter became the sixth alumnae chapter of the
Sorority when it was chartered on April 28, 1922 in Wilmington, DE. The members
of Zeta Omega have proudly upheld the purpose and traditions of Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority, Inc. in providing service to all mankind. The impact of Zeta
Omega’s contributions and positive impact in Wilmington and New Castle County,
