Rotary to Debut Tennis Tourney at Golf Fundraiser

Tennis anyone? The Roswell Rotary says so.

The service club plans to debut a new tennis tournament simultaneously with its annual golf fundraiser. The fundraiser, in its 35th year, is known to be the largest 100-percent volunteer fundraiser in Georgia and will boost its revenue by adding tennis.  

The Hagan Cup Classic, named after local philanthropist Bob Hagan, will be held in a Round Robin format the day of the golf tourney on Sept. 9 at Country Club of Roswell. 

The tournament draws some 500 players, volunteers and businesses professionals from North Fulton.  

“The addition of the tennis tournament is a natural progression for us as we are nearing capacity for our golf fundraiser; it also gives an opportunity for those not interested in playing golf to participate in the best charity event for the North Fulton community,” said tournament chairman Theo Keyserling in a press release.   

The golf event annually raises more than $170,000 for North Fulton charities. 

The event includes an after party and awards reception featuring a casino, dinner, drinks by Roswell local Vixen Vodka, dancing, and a live and silent auction.  

“Our after party is the most possible fun you can have for a good cause on a Monday Night," Keyserling said, “It is an open event and anyone can come to the after party regardless of tournament participation.”
