Eduardo Sanchez, Head Tennis Pro at Rancho Valencia who is organizing the fundraising event, was born and raised in the city of Tecate, Mexico and accomplished a life-long dream to construct public tennis courts for use by all the citizens of Tecate, regardless of their ability to pay for instruction. He and his wife Amelia dedicated the project on June 4, 2004, in honor of their deceased son, Sean Eduardo.

The event, hosted and underwritten by Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, will be the first fundraising event held at the resort since its current renovation project has been under development. Ranked the number one tennis resort in the U.S. by Tennis Magazine, it will re-open to the general public this fall. www.ranchovalencia.com
