Tennis, anyone? Tennis players of all skills levels are now being recruited to participate in the ninth-annual “Westside Challenge to Beat Breast Cancer” event on Saturday, Oct. 21, at the UCLA/Los Angeles Tennis Center.

The event will feature up to 84 players in a round-robin tennis marathon, followed by a reception at the nearby Straus Clubhouse. All players receive a souvenir bag filled with various items, are eligible for prizes and are invited to pre-event instructional clinics run by tennis professionals.

Proceeds will benefit the low-cost mammography screening program at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, which provides affordable screening and, in some cases, diagnostic mammograms to eligible Westside residents. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $800,000.

For a player packet or more information, e-mail tennis coordinator Rick Grant at or call him at (310) 823-0157.
