Carefree Racquet Club in Merrick recently hosted a Rally for the Cure event, where a number of ladies came out for a day of round-robin doubles tennis and to support a great cause.
Rally for the Cure is a grassroots program that works to educate women about breast cancer and remind them to get their annual screening through organized golf, tennis and social events.
“I think it’s an awesome event for a terrific charity,” said participant Fran Foreman Harelick.
Each participant was able to play in a round-robin doubles tournament for two hours before settling in for lunch.
“I loved being invited for a great day of tennis,” said Nadine Jacoby, who played in the event. “My points may have been down but the cause was definitely up! I had a great time.”
All proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Prizes were given out and a goody bag full of important breast health information and other Rally for the Cure items was given to each of the participants.
