Saturday, June 26th, 2010, the Orindawoods Tennis Club will host the eighth annual Ace It fundraiser for breast cancer. Because of your generous contributions over the past eight years, the Lamorinda tennis community has raised almost one hundred thousand dollars for breast cancer at this annual event.

The program includes a full day of tennis-related activities to raise money in support of the Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland. The

day begins with tennis clinics by local pros in the morning, a gourmet lunch and raffl e, and a tournament in the afternoon.

*Attendees can choose to come for the entire day, morning or afternoon (lunch included) or just lunch.

Eight years ago the Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center did not exist. A group of women tennis players in Contra Costa County became aware that many of their friends and acquaintances had experienced tremendous anxiety and inconvenience when faced with a possible diagnosis or course of treatment for breast cancer, not just because of the diagnosis but also because there was no local, centralized place in the East Bay for these services. Diagnosis could take weeks and treatment often required travel to San Francisco or the peninsula and could even mean quitting a job to accommodate appointment schedules.

Originally, Ace It! was intended to raise money for charities benefi ting breast cancer patients. However, as soon as the Ace It! organizing group became aware of the Carol Ann Read Center plans, fund-raising focused on the local facility. The center opened three years ago and was named one of the top ten such facilities in the nation in 2008. This year the proceeds from Ace It! will help un-insured women receive diagnosis and treatment at the Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center.

Register for Ace It! and continue the wonderful spirit of giving begun by the Lamorinda tennis community. Your contribution will make a difference in the fi ght to eliminate breast cancer.

How: Log on to www.orindawoodstennis.com and click on Ace It! in the left hand column. Print, complete and mail the registration form with your check.

Or look for Ace It! registration forms at your tennis club, community tennis facility or ask your USTA team captain for forms. All donations are completely tax-deductible for the entire amount of the registration fee.

We look forward to sharing this wonderful day with you!
