AMHERST, N.Y. - Daemen College head men's and women's tennis coach Kerry McDermott has announced this his program will host the Fifth Annual Daemen Tennis Carnival on Saturday, January 26 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 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.

Tennis activities at the event will run from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is catered with hors d'oeuvres, desserts and refreshments being served throughout the night, and it will also feature Mac's Magic Show from 9 to 10 p.m.

There are two types of tickets available for the event. A $25 ticket includes entry to the event, hors d'oeuvres and Mac's Magic Show. 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 in the days leading up to the actual event. More details on pre-sale basket raffle tickets will be announced at a later date.
