It’s an exciting time for the SenioRITAs at Sawgrass. This year marks the 20th anniversary of their efforts to provide funding for research, education, equipment and patient care programs through the SenioRITAs at Sawgrass Women’s Tennis Tournament.

The three-day tennis tournament Oct. 18 to 20 at the Sawgrass Tennis Center features nearly 300 women. The net proceeds of the 2018 event were $205,225 — a new record and testimony to the commitment and efforts of supporters, contributors, participants, and volunteers.

Because the group is an all-volunteer organization, 100% of the proceeds go to Mayo Clinic and Baptist Medical Center Beaches. The tournament is open to the public.
