Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group, located in Santa Cruz, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people living with cancer in the Santa Cruz community. Working with a dedicated group of volunteers and partners the organization raises community consciousness through events and outreach and provides vital financial support for several Santa Cruz beneficiary organizations including Hospice of Santa Cruz, Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Association and more.

This event was the first fundraising event for Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group and began in 1995. Now in its 17th year, this exceptional gathering of tennis enthusiasts has grown, offering players, families and friends a fun day of tennis followed by a delicious BBQ, with all proceeds donated to our beneficiaries.

Spend the day playing tennis, laughing with old friends, making new friends and enjoying a delicious BBQ all while raising money for a great cause. The donation for this event includes a two level mixed doubles Round Robin and an amazing meal prepared by Scott Carter and his crew. Non-tennis players are invited to join us for the food. Spaces are limited to 36 players so sign up! Diane Carter will be sending out sign ups closer to September. The Carters and volunteers have put together this event for 11 years.

Background on Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group:
SCCBG has funded cancer research and local groups -- including many that support people living with cancer -- since 1995. SCCBG was started by a small group of friends who used to play tennis together once a week; they had each lost a relative or friend to cancer and wanted to do something to make a difference. The first event the organization hosted was a Spring Forward Against Cancer Tennis Tournament and Celebration; these tournaments are still held each year. Proceeds from this year's Gourmet Grazing benefit these local cancer support and research organizations: Hospice of Santa Cruz County, Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support and Services, The Katz Cancer Resource Center, UC Santa Cruz Cancer Research, and WomenCARE.
