Reston's Rally For a Cause Tennis Tournament

Reston’s “Rally for a Cause” Tennis Tournament Sets New Standard for Reston Tennis

New Milestone in Fundraising Marks Turning Point for Reston Tennis

Early morning clouds dispersed and the rain held off September 21 and 22, 2013 for Reston’s “Rally For A Cause” 2nd annual tennis tournament.   Sixty five players, nearly double the number of players from the previous year, gathered at the Lake Newport tennis facility for men’s and women’s 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 singles and doubles draws.  They brought their racquets, their wallets and their friends to combine the sport of tennis with charitable giving.  The tournament sponsored three causes: USTA Serves/Wounded Warrior Curriculum, HEART (Have Everyone Access Tennis), and Cornerstones, which respectively support rehabilitation through tennis for injured or ill veterans, tennis scholarships for children, and interfaith family services.  For the first time, the tournament drew a significant number of entrants from surrounding areas such as Arlington, Alexandria and  Herndon and saw fundraising revenue grow from $2,000 to $3,000 ; an increase of one third.
