| Aloha, On behalf of the Filipino Organization of Kona, we would like to send our
deepest Mahalo to all the participants, volunteers, and supporters that made this
charitable event a HUGE SUCCESS.
Although only our 2nd year, participation has been
tremendous with close to 100 players this year ... that's at least 30 more than last year!
We hope you enjoyed the competition as well as the
camaraderie, fellowship, and most of all FUN in the process of raising funds for charity.
There is nothing more fulfilling and meaningful giving back to the community
through the sport we love.
We also hope you enjoyed the event t-shirts, giveaways,
silent auction, and last but not least .... the scrumptious authentic Filipino culinary
delights prepared by the unselfish and civic-minded members of the Filipino Organization
of Kona.
We would like to thank our Major Sponsors for providing
critical resources for the event:

you again for the opportunity for sponsorship in your tournament.
The comments from everyone I spoke with
were quite overwhelming; the level of play, the organizational aspect, the fun, and the
tournament experience overall, were just fabulous. We are looking forward to being a part
of the event next year, and I'm even hopeful that I'll be able to participate myself!
On behalf of myself, Wayne DeLuz (our
owner) and all the employees of Kona Mazda Hyundai, thank you again this opportunity and
for promoting tennis in West Hawaii the way you do!"
