This year PINC hopes to get even more teams to enter, continuing to raise funds to help the organization give back year round. “There was such an incredible response to the PINC Open Tennis Tournament last year both from participants, as well as fans coming out to cheer the teams on that we knew we had to hold the tournament again this year,” said Annie Domingos, Current President & Founder of PINC. “We encourage tennis enthusiasts of all skill levels to sign up today. This is a wonderful opportunity to have some fun and give back to our community.”
