4th Annual Tennis on the Green

Join us for the 4th Annual "Battle by the Bay" benefitting Children's Cancer Center through the Panera Bread Knead for Knowledge Scholarship Program.

About the Event

“Battle by the Bay” Tennis Match

We’re taking over the Palma Ceia courts! Join us under the lights to view the match, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and browse the fabulous silent auction. Stay court-side to dance the night away with the incredible band, No Filter. All the action will be on the courts this year, so you won’t miss a point!

All proceeds benefit the Panera Bread Knead for Knowledge Scholarship Program – providing local children who are currently or have previously battled pediatric cancer or chronic blood disorders – with educational support and scholarships. Over $700,000 in college scholarships have been awarded since inception. Additionally, a portion of this year’s proceeds will provide essential hurricane relief. Where a hurricane can bring an entire city to a standstill, unfortunately pediatric cancer never stops. The recent storms left the Children’s Cancer Center building heavily damaged, impacting this special place that provides essential programs. Just as the Panera Bread Knead for Knowledge program has built a foundation of learning, we now face a new “knead” – to rebuild and restore the very home of our educational pillar. 30% of the proceeds from Tennis on the Green will proudly support the restoration of the Children’s Cancer Center’s building and directly assist families who are managing both cancer and the aftermath of the hurricanes.
