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:

TOURNEY FEEDBACK

"Thank 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!"
