Teen Sensation and 2009 US Open Quarterfinalist Melanie Oudin teams up with an All-Star cast for the second edition of Champions for Charity. The event will take place on Sunday, December 6, 2009 (3PM) at Hartman Arena located at 8151 N. Hartman Arena Dr., Park City, KS. Oudin will be joined by the world’s #1 ranked Doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan along with 6’9’ John Isner, and former Olympic Silver Medalist Mardy Fish, both ranked in the top 50 of the world singles rankings. The Event will be hosted by Wayne Bryan, father of the Bryan Brothers. In its inaugural year in 2006, Champions for Charity featured Andy Roddick and was played at the Rock Road location of Genesis Health Clubs. The Event was sold-out (nearly 2,000 spectators) and helped raise over $20,000 for the Daniel M. Carney Rehabilitation Engineering Center Wheelchair Seating Program for Children at the Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation (CPRF) and the newly created Genesis Foundation for Fitness & Tennis (GFFT). Now with the opening of the new state-of-the-art Hartman Arena, the event is able to return with the intention to become an annual fundraising exhibition. Founded in 2006, the purpose of GFFT, a 501(c)(3) organization is to provide funds to allow all citizens, regardless of background and means, the opportunity to participate in recreational and/or competitive fitness activities.

For her achievements, Connolly Brinker was inducted to the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in 1968, where she has been celebrated ever since. On July 9, during Hall of Fame Induction Weekend, Connolly Brinker was honored once more when a gallery in the Museum at the International Tennis Hall of Fame was named in her honor, thanks to the generous support of her family and the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation. During Hall of Fame Weekend, a ribbon cutting ceremony was hosted in the Museum’s 1950’s and 1960’s Gallery, Named in Loving Memory of Maureen Connolly Brinker. “Mo Connolly Brinker was undoubtedly one of the greatest champions of tennis, and her family and foundation have continued to be great supporters of the sport in her name,” said Mark L. Stenning, CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. “We are grateful for their support of the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum and we are pleased for the opportunity to work with them to honor Mo and to preserve the history of tennis.” The gallery highlights great moments in tennis during the era which Connolly Brinker competed, including photos and video of international tennis stars, highlights of the Wightman and Fed Cup competitions, and a focus on the Australian Davis Cup team.
