This year the 8th annual McDaniel Tennis Teaching Pro’s Tournament will be played from the 6th to the 10th of March 2013 – with Casa de Campo villa owner Phyllis Berney as Honorary Chairman.
The tournament, played annually between the teaching professionals and ball boys of the La Romana Country Club and the La Terraza Tennis Club in Casa de Campo, is the principle fundraising effort for the Ball Boy’s Scholarship Fund, which now finances the education of a total of 20 ball boys and 1 ball girl.
According to Rick McDaniel, founder of the tournament, Phyllis Berney was selected as Honorary Chairman as a lively member of the Casa de Campo tennis and also in recognition of her fundraising efforts over the years. Last year, Helen Wynn acted in this role and in 2011, Alfonso Paniagua of Costasur Dominicana was selected.
For the first 6 years of the tournament funds were raised solely with individual sponsors from the Casa de Campo community who donated between US$150 up to US$5,000, raising a total of approximately US$30,000 which is divided evenly between the “purses” for the tournament winners, the Ball Boy’s Scholarship Fund and English classes for the Teaching Pro’s and Ball Boys. For the last two years however, a “Corporate Sponsorship” option with Silgon Inc., Marketing, Web Development & Publishing Services as the lead sponsor.
