Charity Fun Tennis Day

Sunday 8th March 2009

Auckland turned on a perfect day for this year’s event, giving tennis aficionados across Auckland an excuse to forget about the dismal economic climate and gather together with friends and family on exclusive private tennis courts across the Shore in support of North Shore Hospice’s annual tennis day.

With the generous support of Sabato, players and guests enjoyed an outstanding day of delicious food, wine, hospitality and, of course, fun, and in some cases very competitive, tennis. Our thanks to all our generous supporters who ensured the success of this day.
