After taking three years off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sun City West Tennis Club put on the Swing Into Spring 2023 Senior Tennis Charity Tournament, benefiting Sun City West Posse and Sun City West PRIDES.

A total of 134 players participated in this year’s event. With heavy rains falling the night before and morning of, volunteer ground crews dried the courts and prepared them for play with only a few hours delay.

Contributions via the raffle and donations raised $8,400, which will be divided and presented to groups during the April Sun City West Tennis Club members meeting.

The event will play again next year. For more information, email swingintospringscwtennis@gmail.com.
