Proceeds to Benefit Breast Cancer Patients in Need

DESTIN, FL, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Sandestin Tennis is ready to serve the community with a fun event to help raise funds for breast cancer. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort today announced its Annual Serve2Cure Tennis Tournament to be held this October 6 at the Sandestin Tennis Center in Destin, FL from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
