The Peachtree City Tennis Center has hosted a professional tournament

for the last five years. For the last three years, the

Tennis Center has used ticket sales from the tournament

to benefit local charities. This year, the Fifth

Annual Peachtree National Bank Women's Pro Challenge

will benefit the David Harris Jr. Foundation.

The David Harris Jr. Foundation helps Fayette County families that

are battling Leukemia and Cancer. Virgil

Christian, director of the Tennis Center, has known the Harris

family for a while, as well as others that were involved with

the foundation. "We like to help local charities each

year and the Harris Foundation does a lot of good for

the community," said Christian. "This will be a good

thing for everybody involved."

The tournament is set to run from July 19-25.

All ticket proceeds during the seven day event will go

to the foundation. The tournament has had some of

the world's top women tennis players in the past and

this year should be no different. The Tennis Center

has always drawn large crowds for the tournament but

hope to draw their largest crowd yet, this summer. Stay

tuned to the sports section to find the dates that tickets go

on sale or call The Peachtree City Tennis Center at
