About Us

Building on Past Years’ Success

Each year dozens of Eagle Harbor Tennis players and friends, join the Orange Park Rotary Sunrise Club in presenting Tennis4Cancer. Despite the interruption of Covid in 2020, the 2021 Tournament was a huge success with 300 players and net proceeds raised of $53,277. A check was presented to the American Cancer Society for $27,000 and another $27,000 was distributed to Rotary charities. Our total for these two charities now equals $336,027 overall.

SO HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Now that our 6-year pledge to contribute $100,000 to the capital campaign of the Hope Lodge has been completed, the focus we will be working towards is contributing $60,000 towards the lease or purchase of vehicles to support the Hope Lodge.
