The annual Bob Davis Play For Pink Tournament was held this past week and once again it was a huge success for a great cause.
The tournament brings out girls tennis players from across Suffolk County at Ward Melville High School for the annual event dedicated to raising funds for the fight against breast cancer. The tournament now spans over a decade, was named in honor of Bob Davis, the former Harborfields High School coach who founded the fundraiser.
This year’s tournament featured 28 doubles teams competing in round-robin play and they were able to raise nearly $1,000 dollars for the Good Samaritan Hospital Breast Health Center. Winners and finalists earned the opportunity to attend the end-of-season Section XI tennis dinner for free.
Spearheading the tournament was Coach Erik Sussin and Joe Arias, president of the Suffolk County Tennis Coaches Association.
