AMHERST, N.Y. - Daemen College head men's and women's tennis coach Stephen Beatty has announced this his program will host its second annual Tennis Carnival on Saturday, January 30 at Miller Tennis Center, the indoor home of Daemen's men's and women's tennis teams, at 5959 Sheridan Drive in Williamsville.

The event aims to bring the local tennis community together for a fun night of games and drills with the chance to win a lot of prizes.  Stations will include a fastest serve court, target practice and "beat the pro".  Student-athletes from Daemen's men's and women's tennis teams will also be in attendance and will help with on- and off-court activities.  

There will be a basket raffle and a 50/50 raffle as well.

Check-in for the event begins at 7:30 p.m. with tennis activities planned from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m.  The event is catered with hors d'oeuvres, desserts and refreshments being served throughout the night.

There are two types of tickets available for the event.  A $20 ticket includes entry to the event, hors d'oeuvres and desserts.  A $50 ticket includes everything previously mentioned plus two hours of tennis activities.

All proceeds will go directly to the tennis programs at Daemen, and will be used to help offset the ever-present need for athletic scholarships, travel expenses, court costs and supplies.
