at Sawgrass Country Club

October 22, 23 & 24, 2010

to benefit The RITA Foundation

 

Welcome to the Eleventh Annual SenioRITAs

Women’s Doubles Tennis Tournament at Sawgrass Country Club!

 

RITA ... Research Is The Answer ... is a foundation that directly funds breast cancer research in Northeast Florida. In fact, all funds raised by the tournament, including your entry fees, benefit clinical breast cancer research at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and breast care services at Baptist Medical Center Beaches.

 

All the money raised through RITA remains here to benefit the women of Jacksonville. However, exciting research efforts hold promise for women everywhere. In thirteen years, The RITA Foundation has donated more than $3 million, over $460,000 of which was raised by SenioRITA. With your support, we can significantly add to that total. RITA is an all-volunteer organization, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting these programs:

 

THE MAYO CLINIC

The Mayo Clinic Breast Cancer Research Program includes prevention along with improved detection and evaluation of innovative therapeutic options for patients diagnosed with breast cancer.

 

BAPTIST MEDICAL CENTER BEACHES

Baptist Medical Center Beaches offers the highest quality breast imaging and evaluation services with specially trained technicians and radiologists implementing the newest detection techniques and equipment.
