3RD ANNUAL TENNIS LOVE AFFAIR SUPPORTING THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION
If you are only going to attend one event this season, the 3rd annual Tennis Love Affair should top your short list! A refreshing, innovative series of events culminating with an entertainment packed black tie optional Gala at the prestigious Boca Raton Resort and Club.
Following the tremendous success of last year's event, the Tennis Love Affair and its title sponsor Blinc Inc. - a privately held international beauty company headquartered in Boca Raton, are teaming up to once again raise money to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) and aid in the advancement of treatment for this devastating disease.
When CFF was established in 1955, children born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) were not expected to live long enough to attend elementary school. Over the past 25 years, the median age of survival has more than doubled. Today, approximately one year of life is added to the median survival age each year. With almost 90 cents of every dollar raised made available for investment in vital CF program services, www.cff.org is one of the most efficient and accountable organizations in the country, as ecognized by Wall Street Journal, Smart Money, Forbes and USA Today.
Honorary Chairs: Lewis and Suma Farsedakis
The exciting Best Tennis Team in Boca tennis competition kicks off the Tennis Love Affair on Saturday, January 24th, 2009 at The Oaks at Boca Raton. Five-player teams, consisting of 3 men and 2 women, are encouraged to sign up and compete for the coveted title of Best Tennis Team in Boca Raton. Bringing unexpected twists to traditional tennis tournaments, the competition will feature renowned tennis pros, on-court coaching and innovations like "balligans."
