Scandinavian Tennis Tournament in aid of Cudeca Hospice
 
 
 
 
Martin Norrbom from Norrbom Marketing, Mijas organised a Charity Tennis Tournament in aid of Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice on Sunday 9th November at the Daryl Collins Tennis Academy in Algarrobo, Mijas. 
 
The event was extremely well attended, prizes were given following the tournament and all players stayed for a superb lunch. A raffle was held with great prizes generously donated by local businesses and friends.  The event was a huge success raising a total of 3.799,29, including 100€ kindly donated by the sponsor Simzar Estates.
 
A special thanks to Martin, everyone who helped out with the organization, the club itself for providing the venue and all the sponsors. As it was such a success, Martin hopes to be able repeat the tournament next year.
 
This year’s funds will be focused on helping to save the in-patient from closure. Since opening the Unit in 2005, the financial support received has not covered the high maintenance costs of the unit and as a result could mean possible closure of the Unit. However if we continue to work together on such successful events and bring in those much needed funds, along with promoting our “become a benefactor” campaign, the future of the In-Patient Unit looks a lot brighter.
