The local tennis community of Moore County helped raise over $2,500 for the local Special Olympics program through the Serving Aces Tennis Tournament. The tournament was organized and hosted by Julie Criscoe; Club Manager/Director of Tennis at Legacy Lakes Racquet & Fitness Club and main sponsors CAS and Forest City Land Development. During the weekend of August over 60 players took part in the doubles and mixed doubles tournament.
According to Special Olympics Moore County Tennis Coach Scott Boucher, “fundraisers like this are needed to allow our program to be able to offer sports year round to athletes in Moore County. Being that we are 100% privately funded we rely on events like this to pay for not only the tennis program but also other sports like bowling and athletics. I thought it was a great idea when Julie first presented the idea to me. Legacy Lakes has been the host club for our program from the first day they opened. I could not ask for a better partnership than the one I have with Julie and Legacy Lakes.” Click here to read more in The Pilot.
