SILENT AUCTION TO BENEFIT MISSISSIPPI'S SOUTHERN JUNIOR CUP
The Mississippi Junior Tennis Council is hosting a Silent Auction at RTC on Saturday and Sunday of this tournament to raise money for Mississippi's Southern Junior Cup teams. The Southern Junior Cup is the USTA Southern Region's premier team event featuring the top 3 boys and girls from each state in each age division ( a total of 24 kids from each state) competing to determine which Southern state has the best junior tennis players. Funds raised at the Silent Auction will help offset the Mississippi player's travel costs, provide our players with Team Mississippi gear, and provide pre-tournament training opportunities for our players and coaches. Please stop by RTC on Saturday or Sunday to bid on our great auction donations! The Silent Auction will end at 5:00 on Sunday.
