The University Healthcare City Hospital Foundation will sponsor its eleventh annual tennis classic on Saturday, September 13 at Saint James School in Saint James, MD. Organized by a group of local physicians, the event was established in 2004 as a fund raiser to benefit City Hospital which is now Berkeley Medical Center.
This year’s tennis classic goal has been set at $12,000, and the money will be used to purchase a cardiac monitor for the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Berkeley Medical Center. The unit is scheduled to open in mid September.
The annual University Healthcare tennis tournament is a round robin format with the highest scoring doubles awarded. Trophies will be awarded to the top two players in the men’s and women’s divisions, along with the player with the most aces. In order to participate, registrants must be 18 years old by September 1, 2014.
Registration begins at 8:00 am at the St. James School tennis courts, with play to begin at 9 am. The individual player entry fee is $100. Corporate sponsorships are also available at $1000, $500 and $250 levels. An awards ceremony with lunch, provided by Sodexo, will immediately follow the conclusion of play.
