THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS YEAR'S EVENT SUCH A WONDERFUL SUCCESS!  STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION FOR 2011! 

 

August 14, 2010
The Raleigh Racquet Club


Players and participants from the 2009 Racquets for Research Event, hosted by the Raleigh Racquet Club.


 
The 5th Annual Jimmy V Racquets for Research tennis tournament will gather together tennis enthusiasts from around the Triangle for a chance to play with the pros on an unforgettable day of fun and philanthropy. This event is unique in that all players regardless of their level of play, get hands on instruction from the pros in the clinic, and then get to immediately apply the lessons learned playing other doubles teams of equal ability.

2001 men’s doubles Wimbledon champion, and Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame inductee, Don Johnson returns as celebrity host to share his skills with you.
