Tennis Program To Host Third Annual Carnival

Event Planned To Aid Team Fundraising Efforts

AMHERST, N.Y. - Daemen College head men's and women's tennis coach Stephen Beatty has announced this his program will host its Third Annual Tennis Carnival on Saturday, January 28 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 to help with on- and off-court activities.

Check-in for the event begins at 7 p.m. with tennis activities planned from 7:30 to 9:30 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 and court costs.

There will be a basket raffle and a 50/50 raffle as well. Those who are unable to attend the event itself can still purchase basket raffle tickets beforehand; baskets and raffle items will be on display in the Lumsden Gymnasium lobby on Wednesday, January 25 (3-7 p.m.), Thursday, January 26 (1-5 p.m.) and Friday, January 27 (1-5 p.m.).
