Eastern Athletic Club to Host Fifth Annual Rally for Hope Tennis Charity Event
For the fifth consecutive year, the Rally for Hope Tennis Charity Event will be held at Eastern Athletic Club in Blue Point, Saturday, March 28 from 6:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. Long Island Tennis Magazine will serve as sponsor of this event along with Eastern Athletic Club.
Over the past four years, Rally for Hope has raised more than $10,000 in support of Hope House Ministries, a non-sectarian ministry that serves individuals and families in crisis. For 35 years, Hope House has been on the front line, serving the most wounded among us. Hope House, under the guidance of founder and director Father Frank Pizzarelli, operates with the belief that all life is sacred and everyone deserves a chance at hope. Hope House has ministries focused on serving individuals battling addiction, those living with a mental illness, those who are without a home, and woman freeing themselves from domestic violence.
All of the proceeds from the event will go directly towards supporting the work needed to keep this ministry operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The cost to participate is $110 per doubles team (men’s, women’s or mixed-doubles). If you do not have a doubles partner, you will be paired up with someone. There is a $40 fee for non-tournament players to use the game and drill court. The price of admission includes food and drinks. There will also be raffles and 50/50 drawing at the event.
