In an unprecedented effort, the collaboration of the local tennis community has raised in excess of a quarter of a million dollars at the "Tennis For Sichuan" charity event organized by the HKTA and the Coaches Development Committee led by Chairman Derek Ling last Sunday. However, kudos must go to all the players, coaches, helpers, and especially the Chinese Recreation Club, South China Athletic Association, and the Craigengower Cricket Club for providing the tennis facilities for the occasion.

The Hong Kong Tennis Association is organizing a tennis fundraiser this Sunday (June 1) to help contribute to the relief effort in the aftermath of the 8.0 earthquake that struck Sichuan on May 12.  Hong Kong's top coaches, as well as a number of former and current tennis professionals, will join in with the endeavour. All donations collected via HKTA "Tennis For Sichuan" shall go towards the Hong Kong Red Cross China Relief Fund.
