Thank you to all of the players, donors and organizers for our successful 2nd Annual Flagstaff Tennis Association Breast Cancer Tennis Fundraiser. This year we raised more than $1300 to donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation! We had a fun evening of tennis play, testing our serve speed and hitting accuracy.A special thank you goes to Maciej Bogusz for the use of the tennis facility. This event would not be possible without his generosity and his commitment to the Flagstaff tennis community.
