 Dear Sponsor,
January 1, 2016
We are excited to announce the 24th Annual Avila Charity Tennis Tournament to be held on
April 8-10, 2016. This year’s event will benefit Starting Right, Now. Starting Right, Now is
a non-profit organization in South Tampa whose mission is to end homelessness for youth through oneon-one mentoring, by providing a stable home, obtaining employment, teaching financial literacy and life
Mark Nouss, Co‐Chair skills, and by promoting educational achievement.
2016 Tournament Committee Members: Yeon Thomas, Co‐Chair Sandy Callaghan Michael Leeds Leo Orsi Ivy Peterson Martin Revello Sebring Sierra Charles Weissman Paige Williams Roger Cypriano, Director of Tennis Avila Golf & Country Club Glenn Zito, General Manager Avila Golf & Country Club It is hard to believe that we are celebrating the 24th year of the ACTT. This tournament has become one
of the premier tennis events in the Tampa Bay area. The ACTT has raised over one million dollars
through the years, all of which has been donated to local Tampa charities with a focus on children. We
look forward to continuing to grow and contribute to the community.
The 2015 tournament was once again a great success. With the generous support of our sponsors,
participants, and community, it was a record breaking year in funds raised. More than 160 sponsors and
guests attended the Friday night dinner and auction, and over 400 attended the weekend festivities and
watched high level tennis.
This year, the draw for the tennis tournament is divided into nine divisions:
Men’s 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5 Doubles, Women’s 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0 Doubles and a Men’s Open Doubles
Invitational. A Friday night Sponsor Dinner at Avila Golf & Country Club will feature a sit-down dinner and
open bar as well as a live and silent auction. All players, sponsors and patrons are welcome to the
Saturday evening courtside party which hosts exciting tennis and great food in a relaxed setting.
We would love for you to be part of the 24th Annual Avila Charity Tennis benefiting Starting
Right, Now. Please show your support for this deserving charity by completing one of the
levels of sponsorship detailed on the following pages.
If you know of any additional sponsors or auction donors who may be interested in supporting our efforts,
please let us know and we will be happy to contact them to discuss potential opportunities.
