Raise your Racquet or Walk the Track at Reston Relay for Life

Join the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Reston Tennis in the fight against cancer at the Reston Relay for Life on  May 18 & 19 at South Lakes High School.

This annual community event features "teams" that take turns walking the track or playing tennis to raise money for ACS.  For a $10 donation, you can join millions around the world who annually celebrate what has been overcome, remember those who have been lost, and fight back.

Play tennis 1-8 p.m. Saturday, May 18, or walk the track 1 p.m. Saturday - 8 a.m. Sunday.

It's easy to get involved.  Go to www.restonrelay.org and search for "Team Tennis for Life."  Join our team for $10 donation per hour of tennis.  We will contact you to schedule a time to play based on your availability.  Or you can walk the track for $10 donation (1pm Saturday - 8am Sunday).  You can also sign up on-site on the day of the event. 

For more information or to join our team, visit www.restonrelay.org and search for "Team Tennis for Life" or email relayforlife@restontennis.org.

The Relay for Life is a non-competitive, overnight team walking event that gives everyone the opportunity to fight cancer and help save more lives. 

A powerful nationwide movement, Relay is held in more than 5,100 communities each year.  Relay includes music, entertainment, kids' activities and inspirational ceremonies celebrating those who have survived and remembering those we have lost to a very terrible disease.

The Tennis Advisory Committee of the Reston Association organizes the tennis event held in conjunction with the Reston Relay.  Reston Tennis first partnered with ACS two years ago, when we held a charity tournament as a way to combine physical fitness with charitable giving. 

Last year, we joined the Relay for Life event and played tennis on the South Lakes High School courts located next to the walking track.  In the past two years, Reston Tennis has raised over $5,600 for the ACS and the fight against cancer.
